I can't remember what I bought. Are these welsummers or brown leghorns? I remember I wanted to get chickens that lay brown eggs. But can't remember what I got.

If it helps any I have two Welsummer hens in the picture below.

They are the two in front of the Silver Laced Wyandotte. On the same side of the bowl as the one bantam Cornish.
 
They kinda look like welsummers, I do not think they are brown leghorns but I am not even sure if they could be either. If they are welsummers then they will have red earlobes, brown leghorns have white earlobes. Welsummers are bigger than brown leghorns, they also lay brown eggs. Brown leghorns are small and lay white eggs. I do see a rooster in the last picture though, that is for sure.

Thanks! I know that would be the difference when they are older and I would know for sure. I was hoping to find sooner maybe what they are. Haha and that black and white rooster was a total surprise! He came from the same bin as the other 3 and I have no idea what he actually is!
 
Let me try a better picture of my Welsummers.View attachment 1371738
The legs are yellow.
Thank you! Their legs look a little more of a bright yellow. Maybe ill just have to wait longer. I'm just so impatient! I have to get rid of a few so if they are welsummer s if definitely keep them.
