I have gotten an addition to my flock and wonder what she is.?
I thought she was a Delaware hen. I then noticed she had cheeks like my eggers I used to have. I have hatched three batches
of eggs and get 2 of these same chicks each time. the spots are
only on one side of the chicken, they have been all hens.!
they all hatch with a black dot on the top of their head.

Ask,,,,, from the person you are getting your eggs from.
If they are from your own eggs,,, then it is a mix of what you have.
Cant help you ID any further, but looks like a FINE CHICKEN. :love

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:highfive:
 
its my own eggs, she is in a barn with a white leghorn rooster and three white leghorn hens because shes new.( all came together). I don't mix my chickens with others I take in for health reasons. all the chicks are marked just like her. black dot on their heads and as they mature the dots get more noticeable down one side of their bodies. they called her an arcadia. I never heard of them before. from Germany?
 
Well,,, there is a simple answer. Your White leghorns have genes from other chickens in their GENETICS.
I'm not sure there are genealogists that can determine such.
I know that there is a service that does that for dogs.

well I finally found the guy that raised them. He has white Andalusian chickens. the rooster is beautiful as well as the hen. very nice quiet chickens.
