Well she’s certainly not the BUFF Orpington I was told she was at purchase.

This is Charmin. She is all white with yellow legs and a single comb. She’s about 18 or 19 weeks old. She was a little slow to develop the first couple weeks, in fact the chicks that were about a week younger than her quickly out grew her. Then She seemed to have a bit of leg problems where she could only stand on one leg for a couple weeks, and then for a week or so had the same problems with the other leg. (Fixed with “physical therapy” a couple times per day) She seems to walk completely normal now unless she is in a hurry-then she jumps forward-more than any of my other chickens ever have. I bring all this up because she has much thicker and shorter legs than my white leghorns.(in the background of the last picture you can see the size difference of the legs with a WL/CCL cross) Is there a good place to look (like a chart or something) to differentiate between the all white breeds of chickens?

I would have just said she was a white leghorn until you said she doesn’t look it. She might be a WL/CCL cross. DEFFINITLY not an Orpington- obviously not a buff either! I might just go out on a limb and say downright she’s a leghorn

Ooh, no. She’s a White Rock, with that body type!

White Rock.

My Barred Rocks at 17 weeks.

19 weeks.

I'm not sure if white rocks are lighter than barred rocks. My rocks look heavier, but, I think you got a white rock. The comb is definitely too small for a leghorn at 18/19 weeks. GC

Amber-link. Mine is blind, but here is a pic. Amber-links are part white rock sometimes.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I can’t wait to see what color eggs she’s going to lay!

I predict one of these shades.

All are from my rocks. GC
