What breed are these white chickens?

[Caity]

They're almost 12 weeks old. We picked them up as little yellow chicks at our local TSC in NC.




Thanks for the help!

Maybe Leghorns.

They look just like the White Plymouth Rocks I bought this spring (if so, they'll have brown eggs). My second guess would be White Leghorns (if so, they'll lay white eggs). Look to be ~12-14 weeks old?

 

[Caity]

Do you know how to tell white rocks and leghorns apart?

 

[Caity]

Oh, and you are spot-on on the age--12 weeks!

look like white rocks. you can tell because white leghorns are not as defined as white rocks

 

[Caity]

Thanks! What do you mean by defined?

They look similar to my leghorns, but seem a little beefier. My leghorns seem to have a greenish tint in the sun on their ear lobes. I have sex links and leghorns and the sex links are alot bigger at 16 weeks then the leghorns.

like white leghorns body is a just like a bannana shaped body. it just has a curve then goes straight up. but a white rock has alot of curves in its body shape. white rocks body is curvey

Thanks everyone! They are definitely at least as big as the red sex links (which I'm assuming the other one's are), and they have red earlobes, so I guess I've got a couple white rocks. Thanks for all the help!
