No idea what she could be!

[Miriah132]

I bought two Easter Eggers from my local feed store that I bought most of my backyard girls from. One is definitely what you imagine when you think of an Easter Egger, the other I have no idea what she could be. His birds are hatchery quality but he never has mixed breeds(besides the EEs). So what is this girl? She is 6 months old and started squatting but hasn’t laid yet. She’s also a lot smaller than most of my hens but so is my EE I bought with her. I think something might have stunted their growth.

Well she laid a beautiful pure white egg this morning! Think it’s safe to say she’s a leghorn! Thanks for the replies y’all!

Looks like a young brown leghorn pullet to me. Very pretty and should lay lots of white eggs for you.

I'm getting 5 silver leghorns from McMurray this spring, I have heard good things about them. Silver Leghorns lay white eggs and are very similar to other leghorn varieties. They are a pretty uncommon bird and labeled as "rare" by most hatcheries. I'm surprised a feed store had them. The rarest bird i've seen at a feed store was a Golden Laced wyandotte, and that's a pretty common breed

I call him a feed store but he mostly sells hay and chicks! Lol he always has rare breeds but they’re all hatchery quality. He had Sicilian buttercups at one point, Cuckoo Marans, and Cochins, then he carries the basic breeds like BArred rocks and Rhode Island reds!

Silver Leghorn.
It does look like she has a slight crest in one of the pics, but in the others, it isn't there.

I actually have an Easter Egger that looks very similar to this girl- she is small and lays a peach colored egg. Her name is Runt. I don’t have pictures on my phone but can take some tomorrow!

She is definitely a mix, judging by that slight crest. Might be a cream legbar/silver leghorn mix. That would technically make an easter egger, since easter eggers are technically just mixes that lay colored eggs.

And yep, EE is a bird that lays colored eggs that is not a purebred, they can come in almost any size, shape, or color.
