White Leghorns, Austra Whites?

Someone knows what they are sent.
The feed store closest to my house knows 3 months ahead of time what they are going to have. Corporate entities don't leave it up to a hatchery to pick what they will be getting. If they did, they would get all males.

They should be able to look it up for sure.

This stuff is electronic now too

They leave it up to them within reason.
TSC here do not sell straight run standard breeds, only pullets. The hatchery decides which breeds to send. Its batches of different breeds of egg layers. We never get anything fancy here.
Cornish X are straight run and bantams are always assorted straight run. The bantams are a complete toss up to what shows up. Actually never seen a TSC that doesn't do bantams like that and I've never heard of them getting a bunch of random all males.
Figure hatcheries aren't the shisters some think they are.
Feed stores are a different ball game. They do order specific breeds. Usually including some of the fancier ones to try to sway buyers to them instead of TSC.

Our TC offered Pulets so thank goodness I knew they were hens However, we got 6 ducklings as well and ended up with 3 drakes and 3 hens, but it's okay, we have over 20 ducks now, most being ducks. This was our first CHICKEN experience and we are thrilled with how great these chicks are! They are friendly and very healthy looking! I know that the associate said that they laid white eggs, and I knew the name had "white" in it. I just couldn't remember when I got home. I looked up the TC to see if they had anything on their website but nothing.
It's okay, BYC was very helpful because I do agree, they are most likely Austra Whites.
Thanks BYC friends!

Austra.
Leghorns are pure white. Austra are white with black specks.

What about pure white with pink legs (e.g. Not yellow like a leghorn). I bought an Austra White but at five weeks and mostly feathered, zero black spots...

With pink legs could be a white Orpington.

Ohhhh... when I looked again, maybe they’re a little darker than pink. She is just a random white bird....
