I purchased 2 Pullets from a man nearly a month ago. I went looking for Australorps but came across these two girls and ended up bring them home. He told me the girls were about 6 months old and a mix between White Leghorn and Golden Comet. However when I asked him what breed he recommended pairing them with, if I did, he said RIR or White Leghorn.
For other reasons, I was ready to leave and not really 100% on what I was taking home. About two weeks after bringing them home they started to lay, we have gotten 1 tan egg almost every day from each girl. Nice hard great tasting eggs about medium sized. I would just like some opinions on their genetics. The darker one, Louise is more aggressive towards my young Bantams and one of them was killed one night so we had to create a barrier in the Coop for the time being.
Any info would be great. Do you think they are White Leghorn and Golden Comet or White Leghorn and RIR mixes?

Thank you everyone! I guess I will continue to call them Golden Leghorns

. They are beautiful chickens, the gold in their feathers gleams and they have been good layers to be so young and in winter.
 
there combs are to small to be leghorn crosses i have seen birds like this before they look like second generation golden comets wich if you had a roo would breed true
 
Chickens, that is what I would call them. Definitely chickens.

As far as breeding them, any layer breed should produce decent layers. I would avoid a hybrid roo as that would most likely produce a less prolific layer generation.
