White chickens.... harder to identify!

[mamachicken888]

I have three white girls - they are 6 weeks old - and I don't know what breed they are. Can anyone identify this breed? It's tempting to label them leghorns, but I'm not sure.

White rock, perhaps?

Maybe so, Stacy. That's better than "Fuzzy Butts" which is what we've been calling them.

I'd say they're White Rocks. They're too stocky for a Leghorn.

Yeah, that.

We raised Leghorns awhile ago, and they were a very different shape then these...I agree with the rest, they're white rocks.

Karen, yours appears to have a white beak. Does it have white legs/feet? If so, yours is more likely a white orpington. Rocks have yellow skin and are stocky. Orps are also stocky but have white skin. Both breeds have a single comb.
