It seems like an Anacona but seems to be a mix of another breed because of its coloring

aww she's a very cute pullet

lucky because Anacona's lay many eggs

She looks like my ancona, but hopefully she's friendlier. They're supposed to be white mottled with black when full grown. Sorry to hear you didn't get your assortment; I put my foot down with BYC when asked about substitutions when ordering and they sent me what I asked for (along with an extra australorp).

she very friendly. when i go in the pen shell follow me around, and when i bend down to fill the feed and water she jumps into my lap. she likes to be held and talked to. Her feathers are very soft to.

I thought it looked Exchequer Leghorn to me. She actually looks like a clean-legged Mottled Cochin pullet, especially since you say her feathers are soft.

Im going to write the sight i got them from, i only got two of the chicks i ordered, most look cross breed. And if this pullet is anacona, i didnt order one, so the subtituted alot of chicks. I like the chicks i got in the order, all friendly and pretty. But i payed for differnt ones.

Did you tell them no substitution when you ordered?

I think yours is an Ancona pullet. Leghorns have a more slender body shape and are more skittish.

I ordered 2 Ancona pullets this spring. They first feathered in looking a lot like your girl (white chested instead of mottled), but as they are maturing they're getting more black in their chests and more white mottling on the rest of their bodies.

LOVE your avatar by the way! I love Jerseys.
