Back in April, my dad purchased some "Rainbow Layers", three of which grew up to be these large, white chickens that I can't seem to identify.

Here they are as babies (I apologize for the lack of a good, clear pic of them at this age):


Winnie stood out from the other two because of her dusty gray coloring.


Dusty on the far left, the other two being Mars and Sara


Mars and Sara from above.

And here they are as adults:


Winnie - Ever since she lost the dusty gray down, I've been able to tell her apart mainly by her greenish legs.


Sara's legs are very yellow and don't appear to have the same green tint as Winnie's.


Mars, our "surprise rooster" from the batch. He is already as tall if not taller than our rooster from last year, and taller than the full-grown hens (who still put him in his place when he gets uppity).

Here's some more pics, in case they're helpful.


Winnie's legs.

You can really see in this picture how much taller Mars is than the full-grown hens.
 
The legs don't look that green in the pic, but I'll take your word for it lol. That bird I'd think would be a jersey giant. The others just look like white Rocks.
 
When standing side-by-side with Sara, it's much more obvious how different her legs look from the others. I have a picture somewhere that shows the color difference better, but I can't find it yet
 
The adult pictures DO look a lot like White Rocks, but as babies, not so much. My Rocks were typical light yellow chicks as babies.
