Leghorn or California white? Or maybe something else?

[DarkAngel77]

The other day I went to TSC and bought some chicks. One of which was labeled as a California White. I've been trying to do some reading up on the CWs, and everything I'm seeing says they are white with a few black spots (as chicks yellow with black spots). The chick I got is yellow with no spots (her wings are white). All of the other chicks that were labeled as CW were also yellow with no spots on them.

So I'm wondering if maybe TSC possibly mislabeled them as CW and they are actually leghorns, or another breed? Just wanting opinions from other people who may know. The day that I went there were no leghorns, only the CW, wyandottes, blue rocks, smokey pearls, australorps, and they had a bin labeled as "yellow mix" but most were red and a few were yellow but I assumed they were maybe sexlinks and they didn't have any info about them other then yellow mix.


I know the pictures aren't the best, but I hope they are good enough that someone may be able to give suggestions on what she may be.

TSC has been known to mislabel chicks.

It's not tsc, it's typically the hatchery that the regional manager chooses.

You have never been to my TSC.

I'm sorry your tsc has lackluster staff but few things in life can be given a blanket statement.

I was thinking it was either TSC or possibly the hatchery sent the wrong chicks saying they were something else.

Although with both of y'all making it sound like a common occurrence, it's making me feel even more sure that my chick isn't a California White. I guess it will be fun trying to figure out what she is (assuming she was correctly sexed).

These were from TS aka Hoover Hatchery. I still am not sure what they are. I do know they are definitely not a Leghorn. They lay brown eggs. I'm not disappointed. Actually I'm very happy. I'm not a chicken snob like some can be. I don't breed them so SOP is not important to me.

I'm not sure what your chickens are, they are pretty though. I'm just curious what mine is so in the future I'll know if I would want more like her or to avoid that breed.

Sorry I can't tell. Good luck.

Not the best pictures, but I hope they are good enough that someone may be able to help me identify her breed.

I think she is about a week old (give or take a day or so) I got her Sunday, her wings were feathered. When I got her an employee suggested I come back through the week to check out the chicks they will be getting. She didn't specify which days they get chicks, so I'm assuming this girl is atleast a week old now. But any suggestions on her breed would be great.
