Can anyone identify this breed?

[NYREDS]

It always amazes me the number of divergent responses to what breed is this questions. I guess the most amazing part is how many people who clearly don't know the identifying characteristics of various breeds don't let their lack of knowledge stop them from randomly guessing. I expect these widely divergent responses are confusing for someone looking for accurate information.
To the OP-these are Silver Leghorns, absolutely, no guessing involved.

Agreed, Silver Leghorn.

Very pretty. Do you get a lot of eggs from them?

Silver Leghorn, though at a glance they resemble Dorkings too, but they aren't.

This I think illustrates at least in part why so many bad answers show up in threads like this. People who really don't know the different breeds see a familiar element & base their identification on that one element. Silver Lerhorns & Silver Grey Dorkings do have the same top colour but that's where the similarity ends. Leghorns have white ear lobes; Dorkings have red. Leghorns have yellow legs; Dorkings white. Leghorns have 4 toes; Dorkings 5. Then there's the body type difference. Dorkings are much shorter legged & heavier bodied than Leghorns.

You sure Dorkings are slate legged? All of the Dorkings i've seen were white.
