Name that chicken

[mamaKate]

I bought two hens from a farmer many years ago;

he said they were "Dominikers". I assume he meant Dominiques and I'm fairly certain he was wrong. I've been trying to replace them for years. I finally found a picture. Can anyone "Name that chicken"?

Thanks.

Well they may be california whites. If they were they would lay white eggs and be about the same size as a leghorn. It is also very unlikely they would be broody, though there are always exceptions to the rule.

That looks like the color is Excequer. I was going to say orpington but the tail isnt right. She looks large to be a leghorn (californie white?) but maybe thats the way they are. Pretty.

ETA Maybe she is just puffing out because of the chicks.

I would guess california white also.

Thanks for the input. After checking out all the suggestions, I'm pretty sure it's a California White. I even
found a source to buy them---Welp Hatchery in Iowa.
I'm so glad I dicovered BYC, you guys are the best!
