Identify these white hens please!

Any idea what they are? They don't look like typical leghorns to me.

They aren't Leghorns. The build is too heavy. I see some black feather tips on the wings and tail of one of them, so I am thinking they are crosses of some type. Maybe white rock or Delaware crosses.

Leghorns tend to be more slender in build, have large combs, and lay white eggs. They look like Rhode Island Whites, but I noticed that one seems to have blackish markings on the tail? I couldn't click on the picture so I'm not entirely sure. Where did you get them? Do you know what color eggs they lay? Also possible that they are crosses. Beautiful birds nevertheless!

I'm going to get them Tuesday. I just couldn't think of any other white chicken except a leghorn...and I knew that wasn't right!

I couldn't say 100% that they are hens and not cockerels from that picture. It can be very hard to tell with white birds. So be careful and look them over closely before buying.

I have EEs that are white with black 'trim', lay pale cream to dark brown eggs. (I currently have four of this type of EE in my flock).

They look like possible Delaware crosses to me too...
