For anyone interested I have offical info on the two (yep there ARE two different whites now that I have the true info I wanted to post it here for everyone to read)!
I seriously thought A &MS were the same as English and ina way i was right but in another way I was wrong.
The English whites were USED to create the A&M so technically they are the same, only different in size.
English whites are normal sized birds (what i assumed) where as A &Ms are jumbo.
However BOTH A & M and English Whites can be pure white, or white with brown spots esp on the head...the brown spots are a mismark not a pattern (not pied).
Both English Whites AND A & Ms have white flesh. They are basically cousins (in strains) same species of bird same "breed" just a different strain (strain as in one breeder bred English whites, and Texas A &M uni. bred the A & Ms and used EW's to create the white fleshed A &MS).
THought this was nifty info had to share!
