Definitely a mongrel, but who were the parents?

[AlexChat]

This is Tikka, currently suffering with some mites but we're working hard to sort her out. Definitely a girl, we're pretty sure she's a mongrel, would anyone like to suggest possible parents? She lays quite pale eggs with no spots or markings. When she was little she had what looked like eye-liner and quite dark little 'eyes' on her back.

She appears to be either a sex link, or maybe a leghorn welsummer mix, but it's just a guess.

Oh that's clever, I'd not heard of Sex Links before - but a quick good and she does look similar, maybe apart from the 'collar'? - Good idea to have colour be a guide to gender, given the number of rogue males we ended up with

There are also black sex links. The color at birth defines gender - close to foolproof way of getting pullets
