Does anyone have any clue as to what these girls are? They are about 3 weeks old now. My husband's uncle brought 9 of them to us, and they were supposedly from the assorted red pullet bin at tractor supply. We bought 6 of them a week earlier from a different tractor supply, and the ones we bought are all feathering in with red in them. However the ones he brought are feathering in ALL white! These are not any type of reds if you ask me. I'm thinking they're more on the the line of a Delaware maybe? Here are some pics....






Here's a pic of this one with one of the reds we bought, it's a bit dark because my flash wasn't working, but you can definately see the difference....

 
White Rock or White Leghorn . Delawares have a black tip to their tails I believe. But of course I am just guessing.
 
Ok yea, then they're definately not Delaware's because they have no black on them at all. I never had white hens before, so i'm not too familiar with what breed they could be. They must be some sort of Leghorn or Rock, maybe even crosses. I guess we won't know until they start laying. I do know that White Leghorn = white egg. So I guess we really won't know til then. Thanks for the info, it was very helpful (even if they were guesses).

P.S. I will post some more pics of them in a few weeks and see what they look like then, maybe someone can figure it out then. LOL

white leghorns will be skinny while white rocks will fill out and have a fuller chest. If you Google search both birds you will be able to see the difference in adults.
