Help! Whats my chicken???

[nakedchick]

Hello,

I am new to this site. Could anybody please help me determine what breed my chickens are?? We think they are about 9 weeks old. Thank you

hmm...... maybe a cornish x rock mix? I once had a cornish x rock who looked quite similar to the pictures but not exactly.

The legs are definitely not thick enough to be a cornish/rock cross and their faces aren't shaped like cornish/rock either. I'm thinking they are white rock mixed with maybe barred rock because of the pale golden barring on the body. They could be amberlinks too, they are super layer hybrids. Where did you get them? That would help determine your breed / crossbreed possibilities.

I see some buff on the wings, look like gold sexlinks

Tetra tint or Amber link.

Welcome to BYC Their combs look too small to be Leghorn so I think they look like they have Rock or Cornish in them.

Being that you are in the UK makes it more likely that they are white legbars. I would suggest searching in the Breeds, Genetics, and showing section for the legbar thread. I remember seeing something about someone here in the US with legbars carrying the white gene.
