What kind of chicken?

[monnie662]

I have a pullet given to me and the person who gave it to me does not know where it came from like a feed store or a hatchery. I have researched trying to find something like it but to no avail. I think it looks like some kind of bantam, someone told me it looked like a White Leghorn to them but it is small and it has a small comb, I know it is a female. Hopefully some one can give me an idea.

White leghorn to me

I agree, but you say bantam?

It looks to me like it may have red earlobes but with the darkness of the pics and the bars of the cage in the way I'm not sure. If it has red earlobes, it's a White Plymouth Rock. If it has white earlobes, it's a White Leghorn. Both breeds do come in bantam sizes.

I agree.

I think her ear lobes are white but I'll look when I go out and see. She has a real small comb and she is not growing but is feisty and the only reason she is not turned out with the rest I was afraid the hawk would get her since she is so small. She has stayed the same size since she came here so felt she was some kind of bantam. I have looked at the pictures of the white leghorn bantams but she doesn't seem to have the build like them. Oh well it will be a mystery here on the farm until she gets a little older and maybe will change.

So I purchased 6 hens in april of this year . Wasn't looking to have a rooster. Well i think Bella is actually a rooster she looks like one crows like one and is the dominant one of the bunch.
Am I correct she is actually a he ? either way I am going to keep it . It's beautiful and I'm going to handle what I was dealt

Bella is definitely a cockerel.

I agree there is no chance that Beau is a pullet.
