Breed?

[Mom2fourchicks]

I know there are different white chickens. Can anyone tell me how to tell the difference in the breeds? I think she/he may be a bit young still to tell.

You are right there are several different white chickens. Leg color helps narrow it down. In this case, this could be either a leghorn or a White rock. Leghorns tend to be more streamlined in build. They also have white earlobes whereas the white rocks have red ear lobes. This is more evident when they are older.

I agree! Right now I'm thinking White Leghorn because the body type is a bit slim, but there are definitely other possibilities!
