hello everyone, I just got this new white hen, She about 2 years old. and I don't sure what breed she is. I got her from my good friend. He did not know what breed she is. but I thought she probably a White Jersey Giant, or white Rhode Island, or White Plymouth rock.. She lay a brown eggs. She's full white and pretty big. bigger than my Black Jersey Giants hens. and smaller than my Light Brahma hens.

Here picture of her.




so, can you tell me what she is, So I can know what she is for sure.
Thanks!!
 
I'm not quite sure sorry

I want to know what she is so I can breed her to right rooster.
 
To me, she looks like a mix. Her body shape, tail set and comb don't match any of the common white breeds.

The good thing with breeding mixes is you get suprises! Who knows what that white color could be hiding, and what color chicks you could get depending on the color of the rooster. If she's a good layer with a good temperament, I'd just find a rooster that has qualities you like (good temperament is the biggie for me, coming from a good laying breed, etc) and see what they make.

Probaby! I will breed her to Rhode Island Red rooster.
I have 10 roosters, 2 Nankin bantam, 1 silkie, 4 RIR cockerels, and 2 or 3 Silkie X Nankin cockerels.

I definely NOT breed her with the nankin or silkies.
