My White Tetra from TSC lays white eggs although looks just like yours. Interesting....learn something new everyday about chickens...love it.

Could they be white rocks? They would lay brown eggs

Well, I'm new to raising chickens, but I've had two locals to look at the chickens and they have both said that they look like leghorns to them. Was just hoping someone here had some ideas. Possibly leghorn mixed with something else?

They do look like Leghorns, but my Leghorn has the pearly ear as described by nurse_turtle.

Are white tetra chicks yellow like leghorns?

I believe so. I picked up little yellow fuzz butts last spring at TSC, thinking I had Tetra Tints, but it appears they are leghorns, since I am getting white pullet eggs. TT's are supposed to lay brown eggs, and the white girls definely are flighty.

How funny is that? I also got some yellow peeps last April @ TSC and today I found 2 liht brown eggs. My 3 girls look the same like the post starter ones and the were labeled something with L but NOT Leghorn, because I didn't want Leghorns, so I would not bought them

Of course I don't have a pic from the third girl, with the biggest reddest comb of this trio

And here my very first 2 eggs from my girls

Yes, your chickens look like what I have. If you remember what they were labeled, please post later.

Mtubbs, I think you have a flock of Tetra Tints. They sure look the one I have. Yes, they are yellow as chicks.
