iv added the whole library link to here, for the pics of the chicken, its pure white, so any ideas..

The bird was given to me by someone who was moving, she couldnt cope any more, i asked what sort of chicken it was and she said its a chicken... so no idea :(

Hard to tell from the pics Craig, no decent full face or body photos.

But if its a hybrid, something like a white star?  Does the comb stand upright (white Sussex type breed) or flop over at all (leghorn type breed)  Comb looks more upright to me.

That's as far as I can say at the moment!   ;)

My White Stars were leghorn based and had yellow legs, but combs went floppy when they started to lay. 

You can get pure white Amberlinks, but most of them have bits of brown and beige in them.

With the little bit of black in the neck, I'd more likely say they have light Sussex or white Sussex, although I believe the white Sussex is more rare now.

Others will be on here later when they get home from work, you may get more ideas then!
do you know how old she is roughly?

She looks like a hybrid called an Amber (also known as amber link, amber star...). They can be white or cream and some have tan coloured flecks through their feathers.

Hi,

She does look a lot like my Amber Star. The garden centre where I bought her described the hybrid as Rhode Island Red crossed with Rhode Island White. They ranged from completely white to white with a little brown in.
