Hello! So I got 3 8 month old pullets from someone who had to rehome them due to neighbors complaining that their chickens were attracting snakes. 🙄 I was told that #1 was a Buff Orpington, which is correct. #2 I was just told "white chicken". #3 I was told Golden Laced Polish, and I know that she's not a Polish. Also I will ask where they got them from, I forgot to do that when I picked them up.

I'm pretty sure #2 hasn't laid an egg until today, I got them 1 week ago. So that made me think she could be a meat chicken because they're bred for meat, not eggs, so she wouldn't lay as much. There are so many different white chicken breeds so I couldn't figure it out. The colored egg she laid was a small white egg.

A meat chicken wouldn't have lived this long.
 
Ok, so about #3, I did think she was a EE but I wasn't so sure. At the end of her comb it kind of splits(?). Can EEs have a comb like this? So I looked up comb types and it almost looked a bit like a buttercup comb at the end, then I saw the breed that has that comb is the Sicilian Buttercup, so I looked up that breed and she has some of the same patterns on her. But Sicilian Buttercups don't have muffs, beards, and head feathers, so that must mean she's a mutt.
