Are these smokey pearls?

[rkhughes1]

I have these two chicks I got and am not sure what they are. I think they might be smokey pearls. Is there a way to tell? One of them has black legs and beak while the other has yellow.

What a coincidence. I got two Smokey Pearls and they are like that as well. The one with black legs has a darker beak too.

I bought the smokey pearl at TS as well 3 weeks ago I can't find much on them but Hoover's Hatchery says they are similar to California whites but wont be bright white, lay brown eggs, docile, calm, high egg production, they will not say what chickens they are mixed with except a white layer and brown layer.

Looks like some dominant white going on in the feathering. I assume the “white” layer in the mix is leghorn, one of very few white birds that are dominant white. The “brown” layer parent will be harder to figure out.
Hatcheries like to keep their “recipes” a secret.

I hope its not leghorn mix I didnt have a good experience with my leghorn she was very aggressive to me. but these girls seem really sweet.

I have a leghorn mix (half leghorn/half RSL). She is the sweetest, and the best layer!

my girls are now 5 weeks old and in the outdoor run and they are the sweetest things I have raised chickens in the past but never like this these are even sweeter than the buff orpington I used to have. I also have some silkies from the hatchery out of 20 6 survived they are only 3 weeks so still in house with me and we also just got 2 buff orpingtons over the weekend.

Trying to figure out what mine are! At first I thought Austra white but now people are saying smoky pearls since I got them from tractor supply with no labels.

I have smokey pearl chickens for TC. They look like dirty white chickens. With a smokey color that make them dirty looking. I don't have the black of the rear. Business are about 6 months old. This is a hen.
