Help identifying these brown egg layers

[ChickieMomma21]

Hey everyone! I have 3 (hopefully) pullets that I got from tractor supply as part of a brown egg laying batch. They are 8-9 weeks old now. They were all light yellow chicks but one stayed all white, one has tinted brown and the other has a few black feathers mixed in. What do you think they are? Amberlink?

All pullets! California White, Amberlink, and a White Leghorn

They all look like pullets to me!

Should have added that the Leghorn and California White will lay white rather than brown eggs as well!

Thank you! White leghorn was one of my thoughts too, but since I ordered brown egg layers, I crossed it off. I think you may be right though.

the California white should lay white eggs

If the black spotted one ends up laying brown, it’s likely she’s an austra white.

The big difference I have noticed is that Austra Whites have white skin and grey-ish to slate legs which makes sense considering their make-up. Since they're crosses between an Australorp and a Leghorn, the skin should end up white since yellow is recessive. (Assuming the Australorp is pure for white skin.) California Whites on the other hand are California Grey and Leghorn and both breeds have yellow skin. It would be quite unlikely in my opinion for her to be an Austra White due to this chick having yellow legs

Ah, good point, I didn’t notice the legs!

Is a California White a sex link and if so what are the parents?
