Any ideas on what she is?

[liljenjennc]

When she was a itty bitty she was a yellow chick with just a hint of gray that you could see over her back and wings. I could probably find some picture of when she was that young if you'd like to see. Now she just has a yellow head and is covered in solid white feathers. Even though she's mean when her wings started coming in I swear to look at her from above they were so white against her pale yellow that she 'acquired' the name Angel Wings. She just looks so odd compared to my other babies because she has no head feathers coming in yet and even some of my BR babies who are two weeks younger are getting them. She sort of looks like a shrunken head chicken when she fluffs up. LOL

Do u know where they get their chicks from, sometimes that helps. If you can put more pictures of her, side, front and back view that would be great.

I don't know where they get their chicks from but I'll go get some better pictires of her for you now!

 

[liljenjennc]

Ok. Here she is different angles. I included one of her standing next to what I believe to be a production red that is the same age as a judge of size. Again thank you so much for your help!!

I guess she may actually even be a he! Any thoughts on breed OR gender are very good!!!!

I too am new, so I don't know about breed or gender. But he/she is very pretty! I hope he/she stays all fluffy white.

I'm not familiar with them as chicks, and it looks thick, but possibly Leghorn? Looks thick though... I agree it may be a Cornish x but... Its not as big as I'd expect for a three/four week old Cornish x compared to that red pullet.

It is quite possible that your 2 white pullets could in fact be Red Sex Link roosters. They may have mistakenly been put in the white pullet bin. Knowing Tractor Supply and the lack of knowledge of their employees concerning chickens for the most part it wouldn't be a surprise if this is what may have happened. Chest bumping is something roos do a lot more than pullets, especially with eachother. I would say wait another 6 weeks and take new pics and post them. It will be much more apparent if they are roos or pullets then. I hope for your sake this isn't the case if you didn't want roos. : (

Thank you all for the responses! Red Sexlink Roos is actually something I was worried about after looking at some picks of the male chicks.. I'm really hoping not since I was only looking to get laying hens.. Is it possible to have more than one roo live happily in the same flock? I have 11 total.

Multiple roos in one flock is fine. Just watch for favoritism amongst the hens... Two roos will bare a hens back faster than one.
