Here is a picture of my BR Aden. Aden has a guys name because when we got her from Tractor Supply she was lighter than the other two BR. I thought she was a rooster. We also got 3 red chicks. Two look like red sex link and one looks like a NHR rooster.

So on with the story. I have been getting 2 dark browns eggs every day from the 2 RSL and 1 tan egg from 1 BR. One day I got a white egg. Well, I only have 2 BR and 2 polish mixes that I haven't caught laying an egg yet. So I though no way could my 2 polish mixes be laying yet, they are 14 weeks old. So I posted on here about my mystery white egg and someone suggested looking at the earlobes and Aden has whitish earlobes. So I found a Barred Leghorn picture. Could she be a barred leghorn? Here are some pictures....

What do you think?
 
If you seen in the last picture she is lighter than the BR in the back. Her tail stands up and she is more "thin" than the other BR's. Her comb also lays over to one side in the back. Hmmm Barred Leghorn, who would have figured? How cool!!!! I never until today knew there was a barred leghorn.
 
I had one just like her until the dog got her. We thought she was just a poorly colored barred rock (in our early chicken ignorance), until she laid a white egg! She is the chicken facing off with the American Bulldog in my avatar (who incidentally is NOT the dog that killed her).
