Welcome! Nice to meet you, we're so glad you joined us. :frow


How old are they and how much do they weigh? Could you get a few more pictures? They could be Cornish Xs but from that picture, to me they could be White Rocks. I could be wrong though.

Hello. I don't really know their exact age. Here's one picture of Matilda when I first got her almost two years ago. I weighed Matilda a long time ago and she weighed 10 pounds. I'd have to weigh her again to know what she is now. I've never weighed Pearl. She is a little smaller than Matilda though. What color eggs do White Rocks lay? My girls lay very light brown pinkish eggs.

Hm, they do look a bit chunky for White Rocks, but I feel like the don't have that Cornish X look. White Rocks are a dual purpose breed and can be used for meat so they are a larger breed.
Have they had any health issues? If they're at least 2yo and have made it this far I'm thinking they're not Cornish X.
White Rocks lay brown eggs. How is there egg laying? How often do they lay?

They haven't had any health issues. They've always been very lively and healthy looking. They lay big eggs. They don't really lay that often. They usually lay every other day for a week or two and then stop laying for a few weeks. Matilda just started laying again yesterday after not laying for 2 months. I can't remember when Pearl last laid. Regardless of what kind of chickens they are I love them anyway. They're the nicest chickens I've ever met lol.

I'm wondering if they might be white orpingtons? Look at the bottoms of their feet. An orpington would have pinkish skin and a rock would have yellow skin.

They do seem to have a slight pink coloration on their feet. Mostly yellow though. Thanks for trying to help identify them 😁

Hmm, well then I'm thinking they aren't Cornish X, which is good!
White Orpington is a good guess by @janiedoe.
