Need a fast answer before these babies end up on a dinner plate

Guys I need to know what breed these chicks are.... person selling had no idea and doesn’t want them threaten to kill them if they can’t find a home... they think they may be either leghorn or cornish... please help...!,

 

[LadiesAndJane]

These are cornish or cornish/crosses.

 

[Poultry mum]

Thanks I thought so...

They aren’t cornish x. For one, those don’t have red leakage. They would also be noticeably bigger and sparsely feathered by now. Not leghorns either. Could be amberlinks or a different mixed breed.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Maybe some other meat bird then? Look at those chests.

 

[Poultry mum]

All good guys thanks.... I thought they may have been cornish from on of the 1st lot of photos I saw I knew they were a meat bird... possibly broiler or something... they are no good to me being a meat bird... I’m more into showing than killing (simply can’t do it don’t have the heart or the stomach for it)... thanks again guys

Definitely not leghorn. I agree that there‘s leakage that makes me think not Cornish x. Definitely meat birds though and won’t be any use for showing.

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

I still don’t see it. They look to have the same body shape as white rocks, which are a dual purpose breed.

 

[Painted Calls]

Definitely not Leghorns.

How old? They look like meat birds of some sort. Those breasts are huge.

Not sure... didn’t ask... I thought they were meat bird but I’ve been wrong before and just wanted to double check before I bought them.... there useless to me being a meat bird even if they are white rocks... still useless for showing....
