What breed is she??!

[juzzk]

This is hen for the same thread as the roosters her father is a white leghorn but not sure about the mother. Could be One of many of the different breeds we have. Anyone have any clues?? We have heaps this colour.

This is terry the father to our heaps of chickens

if the parents are not the same breed, the offspring would be a mix. would need a head shot to see type of comb and maybe a list of type of hens you have

Looks like a possible Barred rock or Cuckoo Maren mix but I can't tell for sure from the picture

Here's a few more of her. Possible mums are, austrolop, RIR, isa brown, Ancona, winedot, brown barnevelder and black barnevelder.

I have an assortments of all the hens aswell.

Something's off here. to get a barred bird, you need a barred parent. None of the breeds you listed are barred. White rocks are known to hide barring under the dominant white, but I've not heard of Leghorns hiding barring.

I know, we're just as stumped as to where the coloring is coming from,
As we don't have any barred except for 9 week old Plymouth Rock chicks.

Could the whites be something like that Ideal 236 cross that Ideal Hatchery sells, they say it is a cross of 3 strains of White Leghorns and a white egg barred breed cross etc? Or some thing like the California Whites another generations down? Would they look pretty much like WL, but the barring could be hidden?

What is a WL?
We have a lot if other x leghorns aswell that are hens. All from my uncle. He has a huge hen farm and we use to get a lot of eggs from him

 

[RoostersCrow HensDeliver!]

I'm assuming WL stands for White Leghorn.

Are you sure the rooster is purebred leghorn.
