White leghorn or white rock?

[farmerjan]

She is typical of a hatchery White Rock. Too much tail, back too long with too much uplift to tail, sets too high on her legs. No white earlobes is a dead giveaway that she is not a leghorn. In purebred show leghorns the pullets often have a small comb until they are close to and begin laying so that's not a deal breaker. She actually has more leghorn type with a rock type head.

White Rock

If that's a hatchery WR, they've sure got their genetics out of whack big time. Here's what a WR is supposed to look like....and even these don't do the breed justice.

As you can see, they have a pleasing gravy bowl shape and the tail is wide, short and not squirrel tailed like the pullet in the OP. If you ordered a WR and that's what they sent you, I'd be getting my money back on that one because that seems to be some kind of leghorn mix of some kind, but not a thing on that bird resembles a WR except the coloring.

Could a Hatchery make a mistake and she could be mix?

She was also grey when she was a chick like a White rock

Oops... I forgot to tell you all she is only about 13 weeks. Does her age make a difference

 

[Sassysarah123]

How old is she? I am guessing around 3 months

Sorry I did not see your post Leah.
