Leghorn... ???

[chickneggs]

I had a leghorn in the past and KNOW they lay white eggs... I was given this chicken; told it was a leghorn, but she for sure is laying [very light] brown eggs (she is an awesome layer!), plus her legs are not yellow. And I do know about looking at their ear lobes, which her's are white... so this just doesn't make sense.

As far as the brown on her feathers - that's just dirt. She is a beautiful plain white chicken. What breed could she be??

Looks like a Leghorn Cross.

Looks like a leghorn mix.

Leghorn mix. The earlobe thing it's not always true (especially with mixed breeds), it works with most of the breeds, but not with all of them.

Thank you for the quick replies. You guys confirmed my thoughts. After researching different breeds, I could only think she was a mix of some sort. Figured I'd confirm it on here.

If it lays tan eggs it is not a pure leghorn
