Official BYC Poll: Which of These White Chicken Breeds Do You Have?

[Liz Birdlover]

Well I was told they were a pure Wyandotte & a pure Ameracauna...but anyway, here they are!

Wyandotte hen Petunia does have a few feathers with tinges of red & blue on them.

Ameracauna hen Snowflake has a few feathers tinged with blue & charcoal. She's young so I haven't seen the color eggs she will lay yet.

I have three white silkies. 2 hens and one cockerel.

I have 2 White Leghorns. A pullet and a hen.

I also have 1 Lakenvelder.

And 3 Delawares.

Oh, shoot, I also have a Lakenvelder! And a Splash Cochin! I guess I have more whitish chickens than I realized when I wrote my initial post.

I don't have any of these But I have some white Buckeyes!

I have never been much of a fan of solid white chickens, so as long as I've raised chickens, I've had very few who were really white, though several who were mostly white.

I do have a Paint Silkie with color leakage, his two offspring who are White and Paint, and his grandchildren, most of which are mostly white with some reddishness.

I also ended up with a recessive white silkied Cochin bantam who was a surprise out of hatching eggs for Blue and Black. I adore her despite her plumage, but she's a Cochin bantam, so of course she's going to be amazing.

Also, there are the Khaki Silver Duckwing Old English boys, who at a glance look white, though they faintly have a brownish tinge to them.

And I have a hatchery Easter-egger who is almost solid white, though with some faint lacing and flecks of color here and there.

In the past, I've had a few others. Another Easter-egger who was almost completely white, an Amberlink hen, a Light Brahma cockerel (though he was heavily marked in black, so not very white). I don't mind white with markings, or solid white with slate legs like with Ameraucanas, so I wouldn't rule out ever getting more white chickens, but they certainly aren't at the top of my list to get next.

Editing, pictures! I forgot the pictures! Leaving them just as attachments because there's a bunch. Reuby's my Paint Silkie (he lost his flecks some molts ago), Marka and Winter are his children, and Ganymede and Amaretto are some of his grandchildren. Louis is one of the OEGB boys. Wynne is my white Easter-egger. And Dandy Dandelion is the silkied Cochin bantam.

Dandelion is Gorgeous!!!!!

Do Light Brahmas and Delawares count?

I've got 2 California Whites and 2 Delawares at the moment. I had a Light Brahma and will probably get another in the future.

 

[LoLosChickens78]

I have a White leghorn and a Delaware.

 

[Folly's place]

I have white Chanteclers, love them! Solo was our first Chantie rooster, in the profile, and much missed.

Chipotle, an adult hen and Repecka, an 11-week pullet, both California Whites (also Dumpling, the Light Brahma)

One of the two Delaware pullets, Repecka's hatchmates.

Mischief, Chipotle's son, an Australorp x California White (who is only a temporary resident, due to be culled if he doesn't sell this week):

Lace and Minnie are silver laced. So mostly white.
