Mystery white chicks

[ReneeA]

Hello, I had received 5 chicks for free from someone who needed to give them away but they had no idea what the breed was. Where they got the eggs is a whole other story. Could someone please help me ID these birds? My guess is leghorn or white rock?? Thanks all!!6 week old.

They are Leghorns, 3 cockerels and 2 pullets.

Thanks for the ID. Doing some research and it looks like they are going to be a little different then my current flock of orphingtons lol.

If it makes any difference, the Leghorn cross eggs that I incubated and candled were the best candling experience because of how large, and white and as best to clear as one could get with an eggshell. Even if you don't particularly want anymore, I would still suggest incubating a few just for the experience and then selling or trading them off locally.

The only downside is because they can be so much bigger, they might need a couple extra days to hatch, so if all your other eggs hatch, don't be surprised if the big white ones need a bit more time.

I had a batch of 12 barnyard mix eggs and there were several different colors and sizes. The large white egg started wiggling and pipped first, but was the last to hatch. It took about 18 hrs give or take.
