Their either a mix or what not, but the eyes are a dead give away.

what about the eyes? Like I said, seems like I failed my first attempt at raising chickens. But id like to learn as much as possible. Maybe ill start over, or maybe just hatch out my own next spring.

they do look very similar. But up close the feathers aren't pure white. They have like a barred beige. Up close they look dirty,kinda? Not purr white. Hopefully they are the cross. Ill try to get pics of the feet when I give them a snack later.

If they were Cornish X you would already know because they would be 2x the size of your other chicks. Easy to tell Cornish X when brooding them with other chicks.

Last year I bought what was supposed to be 6 leghorn pullets from tractor supply, then a week later went and bought 13 Cornish X from Southern states because I wanted some meat birds but tractor supply was out...
A week later one of my leghorns was definitely not a leghorn. It was easily double the size of the other chicks...but they all looked the same when I bought them...so it's easy to tell when you mistakenly get a Cornish x...believe me.

they are not Cornish cross believe me or they would be at processing size (5-7lbs) right now T.T Cornish crosses can depending on the breeder be ready for the cull at 6 weeks. who said that they where Cornish cross?

for real

the first post was three weeks ago at which time they where already a few weeks old if they where Cornish crosses they would be the size of full grown chickens by now.

Here's my white rock americana cross got her pea comb from her dad.

Her is her mom thought she was a roo when she was a chick, some types you can't tell as easy.As you can see I had to get rid of my americana rooster he had all my hens bare backed from his overly aggressive breeding luckily there feathers are all coming back and they seem happy.I have 2 roosters coming up to replace him.
