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

[Potatofluffycheeksforever]

I have pure white mixed breed hen. Her names Polar bear, even her legs are white!

I had a couple white Easter egger cockerels a couple years ago but they had red shoulders. They were the only white birds I've had.

The camo reasons don't seem to correspond to the anecdotal evidence... In mixed flocks, others and myself have lost brown not white hens to overhead predators.

The true, best survival trait (so far) seems to be skittishness and my Leghorns are very good at getting worried (often over nothing) and taking cover. The braver hens that defiantly wander out with all their bravado are the ones that get spotted by the predators. I wish you (of course) to never lose any, and I encourage you to adopt Leghorns. They have the sweetest disposition and much easier to coax into coming in for the night. They flock more, so they are less likely to be out, alone, lost in thoughts, wandering in a bad place.

Of course, in the end, they will all steal your hearts and make you a nervous wreck trying to protect them.

Awww, what a nice post. Thank you and for the food for thought.

One of my chicks seems to be turning white. It’s a mixed breed though. think it’s part white legbar.

I wanted a couple of those. I saw them in Welp's catalog in the fall one year and planned to order them in the spring but they stopped carrying them.

I think either Cackle or Murray has them

We have white silkies and a leghorn mix that looks almost the same as a pure leghorn.

I'm sorry that you could not find them. I got Glynda from My Pet Chicken.
