I agree bantamphienix. They are now over three months old and still looking like Leghorns to me. They are a flighty pair that's for sure. Of course, they were raised by my Buff and even though I held them sometimes they still won't let me touch them. They are the only white egg layers I have in my flock. Probably be Feb. before they start laying.

I'm getting this hen today, I was told she's a Yokohama but I asked her on BYC and I've been told she's a white Phoenix. Any opinions?

Hey Bantam, here are some updated pics of the possible Leghorns (not Phoenix I am pretty sure) They are almost 15 wks. old now.

They do not look like Phoenix, and I would say that they aren't pure Leghorns, either. The hen in the last photo seems to have some black feathers in her neck. They may be mixes.

Agreed.

I agree as well.

I totally agree they are mixes. And, yes, Martha has black feathers on her neck and some on her wings on the other side that you can't see. Judith does not. She is solid white. I do hope they have Leghorn in their mix so they will be good egg layers.

Thanks for all the input everybody.

Are you sure he didnt mean they're from his phoenix hens but maybe they were bred by his leghorn rooster?
