That’s such a kind offer, but I have 9 girls at the moment so I’m good on chickens! But if I’m ever in a bind I’ll let you know!

Has anyone thought of the possibility that that white chick might be an Amber link mine grew pretty fast and looked exactly like that

Man I sure hope so! Mines pretty active, she loves to dirt bath and look for bugs.

I’m 99% sure it’s a Cornish X.

I’m taking precautions with these girls though, I’m limiting their food and making sure they are getting plenty of exercise. So far they seem pretty healthy!

They might live long lives then!! They are the friendliest breed I’ve ever had so don’t be sad. True, they won’t live as long as others but you will definitely love them a lot and who knows they might live longer than you think!

They do lay X large white or creamish eggs about 4 or 5 times a week.

I don't believe she's an amberlink. I have two -- and while there are some similarities in appearance, they definitely look different. They also tend to be a bit on the light side -- 5 lbs max? Sadly, since they are a hybrid, their lifespan isn't as long as a "purebred" -- 2 to 4 years -- which sucks, because they tend to have a delightful disposition, and are great layers.
