If I'm reading right, they're a year or so old, so sounds like the OP is doing something right with them, they've lived a huge lifespan for CX already.
I thought these were Leghorns, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, we got them at last year's chick days at Tractor Supply. They aren't having any issues right now. They are in a small coop, my brother-in-law was supposed to be getting them, but I'm not sure if he will. They are laying eggs. I guess we'll keep them.
Thanks all.

OKay, about these two hens--I thought they were both EEs (because they have the dark feet). But I have been wondering why I was only getting one blue egg. I found out this morning--Bearded Lady laid a brown egg. So can EEs lay brown eggs or is she a different breed? Here are pics of the two--sorry they aren't better pics they wouldn't cooperate.

Both are Easter Eggers. Most Easter Eggers lay blue/green eggs, but some do lay brown eggs.OKay, about these two hens--I thought they were both EEs (because they have the dark feet).

Okay, I was pretty sure they both were, but thought they only laid colored eggs (not brown)...I had thought maybe they each laid one every other day because I only get one blue egg a day. Thanks!
The OP's birds are Cornish Rock Crosses NOT a White Cornish Cross (Cornish X or Cornish Cross) or a Jumbo Cornish Rock Cross, there's a difference between the two..
The Cornish Rock Cross is just that a Cornish crossed with a Plymouth Rock, the White Cornish Cross and the Jumbo Cornish Rock Cross have other breeds added into the mix.
Cornish Rocks are less likely to have the health problems that the White Cornish Cross or a Jumbo Cornish Rock Cross do and they (Cornish Rocks) grow slower than White Cornish Cross and a Jumbo Cornish Rock Cross.
