So these are a couple of 5 week old chicks that I got that I do not know the breed of. I have some thoughts on what the breeds could possibly be because of where we got the chicks from

I think this could be a White Leghorn, a Frost White Legbar, or a White Rock. She was very calm though when we took the pictures of her.





Here is the second girl. I really have no major clue as when I asked my mother what she thought it was all she said was that she thought that it was a barnevelder. The thing is though we noticed that the pictures of the breed show a double lace. This has a single lace. She was not a happy camper when we took her photos, but she was also the first one to took photos of too.






Any Ideas. This is the hatchey link. These came from the rare assortment: https://www.meyerhatchery.com/
 
I looked at the hatchery again. These are the only pure white breeds they have

White Rock
White Leghorn
Frost White Legbar
White Maran

If this helps with the shank color for Identifcation. @minihorse927
 
It is either white legbar or white orpington. It does not seem hefty enough for a orpington but it could be just that chick. I would bet on legbar if they offer it.
 
I think the white chick is a Rock.

Legbars are crested, and they're light bodied, more like a Leghorn. this chick looks to have some heft and fluff to her.

Marans should have feathered legs and white skin. I can't get the Meyer website to load, so they may have clean legged Marans, but the white skin is not optional.

legbar do come in both crested and uncrested
