what breed is this hen?

Definitely not a white Plymouth Rock

Why would you say not a white PR? She looks a lot like the hatchery White Rock I had

Mine was thinner like a leghorn, but not quite that thin but not plump like a WPR should be.

My thought is the tail is too long and set different. It's true hatchery birds can vary a lot off the standard, but if you can't look at it and identify it as that breed, they've gone too far.
White rocks have dominant white genetically, so if you cross breed them you can get white birds with a lot of characteristics of the other parent.
 
Today She got attacked by a predator, she still alive, but she only have a missing feather on the neck. Some of my Jersey Giant hens died, and some lost a feather on the tails. and my one of my RIR cockerel is hurt on his leg, he couldn't walk. im going to heal him as best I can.

My aunt has chickens and what aggravates me is foxes will occasionally kill a hen but for no reason. It'll come, kill a hen and leave it there. It won't eat it it'll just kill it for no reason.
WOW.. I had fox attacked last year, we killed it. now we have another attack yesterday.
Right! like they took one of my baby welsh Harquin duck a few weeks ago.

Let's hopefully that my 3 RIR cockerels, 3 SilkieXNankin cockerels, nankin roosters will challenge the fox. My RIR cockerels and silkie X Nankin cockerels have been attacking a gray squirrels for while now. probably will be a good protector roosters someday.
IF they do, ill keep all. We planned to keep all anyway.
