White leghorn or white rock?

What does everyone think? white leghorn or white rock?

I'd say White Rock because she has red earlobes. White Leghorns have white earlobes. : ) My family started out with white rocks and we grew to love them. They have great personalities, are laid back, and lay really well even during winter.

X2 that comb is way to small for even a young leghorn pullet and the red ears seal the deal.

Pretty bird!

Not a WR at all...tail is too long and set wrong on the body, body is too slender. I'd say you have a mixed breed or some such but definitely not a WR....looks more leghorn mix than WR, even with the earlobes and such.

Not too knowledgeable about WR but that comb is too small for a leghorn, and the body a bit too full.

Possibly a hatchery Rhode Island White? The standard bred RIW wouldn't have that tail lift and set, but a hatchery stock one would.

Here's a vid of similar looking pullets at Cackle hatchery:

Thanks so much everyone!! I got her from a hatchery and ordered her as a white rock, could they of made a mistake?

Also, the hatchery I got her from doesn't have rhode island whites

What do you all think?

I think that Beekissed has pretty much nailed it. Body type says leghorn/red earlobes says not. She is either a mix or very poor quality WR.
