Chicks from the grab bag?

[Janelyn]

I went in to Tractor Supply in March to buy my first pullets, how exciting. Well, they have a 6 chick minimum. They had 4 RIR left, but lots of cute balls of fluff in the "grab bag". I picked out 2, one solid white and the other with a small amount of black specks, Salt and Peppa.

6 months later, they are both hens, slightly smaller then the RIRs, laying medium size white eggs, but I still don't know their breed. Hope you all can help.

The first picture is Peppa and the second is Salt. Click on them to make them larger.

I got some from TSC in Atwater the same day. the white is a white leghorn for sure mine have been great layers.

Did you buy any of the Silver laced Cochins on that day?

No, I only got the 4 RIR and the 2 white ones. Did you get any of the Silver laced Cochins? I but those are beautiful birds.

The one you named Salt is a White Leghorn or White Leghorn hybrid.

The one you named Peppa and said had black speckles may be a California White. They are produced with a California Gray rooster and a White Leghorn hen. I think the black speckles are more prominent when the chicken is a chick.

The good news is these hens should be egg-laying machines.

How many eggs are they laying?
