White rocks do make good laying hens - at least the females do.

A cornish X is a white meat bird with thick yellow legs, but I don't think your chick is large enough for one of those, is it?. They just eat, poop, and grow - they eat a lot more and grow at a much faster rate than regular chickens.

If your easter eggers are bantams, then their eggs will be small, but what makes you think they are bantams? Is it because the white chick with yellow legs is so much larger? If they all started out the same size and this white one is now a lot larger, then you may have a cornish X. If the 3 EE's were quite a bit smaller than the mystery chick before they got their feathers, than they may be bantams after all. You should know for sure in a week or so - if the white one is a cornish X, we should be able to tell if you repost its picture then (make sure to post alongside your other chicks).

ok, I will try to be patient and wait till next monday to post again. it is soooooooooo not easy to wait. lol
and if memory serves, (i will look back at the week old pics) the largest of them was a bit larger than the other 3. mind you I bought them from a guy on craigs list, who had 8 totes of them in his living room under heat lamps. he had turkeys too. there were so many of them.
I only looked into two of the totes, and I picked 4 up, paid him and went on my way.
I didn't ask many questions, I was in a strangers house, did not know the guy and my sil was outside in the van waiting for me. I was a bit nervous being in there by myself.
anyway, mon the 25th I will post again, new pics,
thanks again to all who posted on this thread, I really appreciated all of your answers.
