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?

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!
