The plain white could be Cornish Cross

Yes, the plan white. The red and white are "ISA Browns" or some variation. My Mom is the one most upset with the white ones, she wanted "pretty, spotted" chickens. She'll get over it, lol. No room for more chicken math to occur.

How old are they?

How old are they?

They are 7-8 weeks old in that photo, and the photo is only 2 days old I think. I give the 1 week buffer because some seemed more like 5 days old when I got them, some people like precision, lol.

Then they are not Cornish Cross. Cornish would be much larger. I was already doubtful because their feathers look pretty and filled in. But you can sometimes get Cornish that fully feather. You might have Leghorns. Great egg layers

Well, they aren't mean and are pretty enough for me. Lol, eggs are always good too. Thanks for the help.

I hope you were not planning to eat them..

No, no dinner table in their futures, unless they pick too many fights or something. I had intended to just have a small flock for eggs, but anything is possible if a not-so-nice bird is in the group.

I was only asking because Leghorns will make a very pitiful meal.
