I figure she's about 14 weeks old and is much more petite compared to my Buff Orpingtons that are about the same age. I was guessing Cornish but not sure. She came out of an assortment at Orscheln's. Thanks!

 
I thought it is a white leghorn... but she doesn't have a long single comb... you'll have to wait for more experience to come.. ;)
 
What color are the earlobes?

If they are silvery blue or white, then it's a white Leghorn. Some Leghorn strains have smaller combs, although mine have combs so large they flop down and cover the eye.

Definitely not a white Cornish--can you even buy a white Cornish anywhere? Not the right feather type for a Cornish, anyway. They are big-breasted birds with hard feathers.

Not a Cornish, or a Cornish cross. Probably a leghorn, she looks too streamlined to be a Rock.
 
We have hens the same color.... Older but same color.... Small comb... Not laying yet, doubt their leghorns. Leghorns are great layers -these girls, not so much-, and I think their gonna lay brown eggs
Not too sure still. Ours are from mcmurray or cackle or ideal (we ordered a lot of chicks.....)
