Is my Chicken a White Plymouth Rock or a LegHorn?

[christyyy]

It’s a cross between an Australorp Roo and a Leghorn hen.

Thank you.

Still? She's an Austra White. That's black Australorp rooster over white Leghorn hen.

Austra whites are white leghorn rooster over australop hens.
Its crossed that way to produce feather sexed chicks.
Her earlobes are not white but partially white. A hint of a mix between white lobe breed and red lobe breed.
The black bleed is because she is a dominate white cross. One copy of dominate white lets color bleed through. She could be an Austra white or a cross with something besides an australop.

I looked at her a few hours ago and her earlobe is mainly white but it is a little bit red at the bottom

From Cackle:
Our Austra Whites are a cross between Cackle Hatchery®’s pedigree Black Australorp rooster and Cackle Hatchery® White Leghorn hens (parent stock shown). ... The Austra White pullet will be white with little black specks in some feathers. ... These hens will lay a lot of large eggs ...

I'm assuming they know what they do there.

Ok. I'll say you are correct then. Australope rooster over white leghorn hen equals Austra whites.
Interesting though I double checked with a breeder about what I said and the feather sexing.
He said leghorn rooster over australope hen does produce feather sex able chicks but what he goes by is that they also produce leg color sex links.
Females having grey to white shanks and males have yellow shanks. That's what he goes by since its faster then checking wing feathers and can be sexed at any age by shanks.
The other way around as cackle is doing does not produce either sex linked traits.

White earlobes don't mean anything when it comes to what color eggs they lay.
Just the fact she lays brown eggs disqualifies her as being a leghorn.
Whether her lobes are partially or completely white only shows she has some white lobe breed in her background.
I have mixed white lobe leghorns with red lobe breeds. The out come can be anything. Red lobes, white lobes or red with white lobes.
White lobe birds that lay brown eggs aren't special or rare. That's the kind of things that happen when mixing breeds. And in your hens case the white on lobes and white color with color bleed and the brown eggs all points to a mixed breed bird.

2x yes the earlobes don’t mean anything I think it’s a mix had well
