I have a mixed flock, but this one’s unique?

She looks like a reverse eagle!

Your red breasted hen is really pretty.
She's still a pullet, about 7-8 months old.
Thanks, she looks Red Pyle, but this partial Grey/Silver lacing throws me off abit on that though.

She’s a leghorn or atleast has a leghorn body so I don’t think those are the parents ?? I mean I’m not an expert so if anyone wants to chime in :)
Her mother is for sure a leghorn, proof being the dominant white coloring.

Ok. I guess I thought I was focusing I. The white eggs being laid as the highest probability. Good thing I’m hatching close to 100 eggs from my entire flock, I guess I’ll be watching them all 😂 for look alike.

“eagle” isnt laying yet so as soon as she does I can atleast focus on her eggs
Keep going as you are, I dare say the white eggs are your highest probabilities.

Dominant white doesn't segregate color on the head like that, something else is going on :p .

The body is dominant white. NO part of fantasy will change that. The head color is an anomaly that happens in chickens. I've had my share of chickens hatched on my farm that geneticists have said are impossible to get from the matings I've done. I understand the anomalys.
Dominant white doesn't hide unless it's under recessive white. Recessive white being just plain white without any other color showing, except in the occasional colored speck on several feathers. 25 years of raising chickens and hatching several thousand eggs should give me at least some idea of what's going on. I don't know everything yet, but 25 years is a lot of ground covered.
