What breed is this pullet?

[AmyJ]

I do not know what breed this girl is. I got 7 as chicks from TSC. They were supposed to be Red and gold sex link pullets. Not knowing about sex links then we picked 4 red chicks and 3 light yellow /white chicks. 2 light ones are red sex link roosters and 4 are red sex link pullets. This one is a mystery lol. She is pretty much white,but has a little yellowy gold tint to her feathers on her back. So does anyone have any ideas? I thought maybe a white rock, but I dont know! Here's a picture. Thanks in advance!

Could be a white rock - is her comb a single? She's sure got the yellow legs!

She looks just like the Amberlink pullet I got from TSC this Spring. I love mine, she is super sweet!

Yes she has a single comb.

Thanks for the reply and link SunAngel. She has no brown on her though like the amberlink in the picture. She just has a very faint tint to her feathers on her wings/back.

Mine doesnt have as dark of markings yet either, just some light gold/brown feathers starting to appear. She is 3 months old. I think the amount of darker feathers happens with molting or just age. I would think they can also vary in color shades like other sex links.

Thats a Large Fowl White Plymouth Rock. Here is a picture of a bantam hen that I have.

Here is another pic of an Amberlink I found....

They do look a lot like White Rocks, but White Rocks don't have any gold/tan tint to any of their feathers.

That pic really looks like mine. Thanks SunAngel! I'd never even heard of Amberlinks before, but I think thats what she may be. The pics of white rocks I've seen looked similar, but they were,well ,white!

You're welcome

I chose some Amberlink chicks at TSC just because I hadn't heard about them. I only kept 1, but she is really sweet. Now I wish I had kept more of them.
