What breed has white chicks

[cochinfan]

these white chicks were not pale yellow - they were stark white which is what made them stand out to me. I may have to make the trek back there to look again. I'm really afraid if I go that I might come home with some chicks and I really have enough chickens right now. This is a very strong addiction! I must be strong, Imust be strong!

My leghorns were stark white.

OK - I went back and looked. They now have the bin labeled as assorted bantams. They are very white with pink legs and you can see that they have pink skin. No feathers on legs. So what bantams are hatched pure white?

There are also bantams with feathered legs. Can I assume these are Cochins? I guess I'm going to go back after work and take some home. I have tried ever so hard to resist but I am not being successful. When I studied legs to answer the question of color in regard to the white chicks I noticed the feathered legs!! I love Cochins and have been wanting the bantam version as well.

I need to go to Chickens Anonymous. I suspect I would meet many of you there...

Sounds like cochins!! chicks are great as long as you can feed them keep getting them!!

that bottom picture of the white one looks to be a polish. It looks to have a top knot and my white cochin had yellow beak and legs not gray

I'm trying to figure our the same thing. This little 2 week old chick of mine was snow white fromday one but unfortunately I ordered Hatchery's Choice and I have no idea what breed it is. Until now I have never seen a baby chick that was totally snow white.

Could be an EE. Is it growing any slower or faster than others? The only "white" chicks I've had are EEs. Everyone else starts out yellow, then grow up to be white.
