Help me identify this white chicken, please

[Chicky Chick Mama]

We purchased 5 buff orpington pullets from Rural King 12 weeks ago and one is white and does not appear to be a buff. At 2 weeks old, Goldie was the largest chick and now at 13 weeks old, the others have outgrown him/her. I suspect it is a roo, but am not sure of the breed and have nothing to compare with. Rural King did not stock any white chickens at that time (only orps, RIR and Barred Rock in stock), so we are really at a loss. It does have one black/white striped tail feather, a couple a brownish spot on each wing and some black flecks in the neck feathers.

white rock roo...?

I'm going to guess white rock because of the yellow legs.

I wondered about that. I'm a newbie, so I'm really clueless on these. Have you had white rock? Here's a tail picture...

That does look a lot like our Goldie...who has turned into a Whitey. Thanks for the link! I just wish it were a pullet instead. I'll never buy from rural king again.

Of the 20 RIR pullets purchased, 2 are roos. Of the 5 Buff Orps Pullets, 2 are roos and one was a different breed roo. I know mistakes happen, but the % mistakes on those orpingtons is quite high!!

I still think that could be a pullet.

Look at the pic of "Amanda" on feathersite.

eta- I thought my california white was a cockeral for a LONG time.... I don't see anything that screams roo, I would wait it out personally...

It may not be a roo. I have a hen that looks just like that if I can get a pic I'll show it to you.

Looks like a hatchery white Plymouth Rock rooster. White birds tend to have a couple black feathers here and there.
