What breed is this hen?

[cackleberrycam]

Hello! I was just wondering what breed my friend's hen is.Everything tells me that it is an Austra White, but its legs are the wrong color. :/

California White would be my guess.

Looks like a California White to me, but I am not sure.

I can see it being confused for an Austra white, though. They are more common, and both have Leghorn as a main 'ingredient'.

It cannot be a California White because it does not lay white eggs.

It cannot be a California White because it does not lay white eggs.

She also has red earlobes. She is a mixed breed of some sort.

Ah- sorry, I didn't know her egg color, and I didn't notice her earlobes or think to check the earlobe color of CA whites. So my back-up guess is Black Australorp crossed with mystery white breed to create a counterfeit Austra White.

Thank you for the help, all!

She's not a "breed", but one of the leghorn-based hybrids.
