What Type of Chickens do i have

[mommiesrcool]

i bought a straight run at tractor supply 4 months ago and they were labeled as egg layers and know their 18 weeks old no eggs yet but i don't know what breed they are please let me know what you think they are

I kind of doubt that TSC would have RIW's. They (from what I know) are harder to find, but hey, you never know!

Leghorns would probably have larger combs. Maybe california whites, rhode island whites, or white rocks?

i wondered if they would be leghorns because of the tail but her comb isn't that big

For comb reference, here's my leghorn:

This is a hen who gives me eggs every day, and her comb is large enough to flop over her face.

Well. It's hard to tell on a white bird but I think I see pointy hackle feathers which would point to a roo.

so i just found out that they are Cornish rocks because i just started free feeding them and they gained 3 lbs within a week and it turned out to be a rooster

Those look like leghorns.

Hmm... usually White Leghorns would have bigger combs by now. Looks like you have one roo and one hen, but not sure. I almost wonder if they could be meat birds, but I think California Whites could be more likely.

What about Rhode Island whites? I have one and they look kind of similar

I guess different states offer different selections... makes sense I guess. I don’t particularly care for white chickens... they get too dirty. But what’s weird is my one RIW went broody and successfully hatched and egg and is the best mother. So strange.
