Okay Im lost. What is it?

Looks just like my wlr cornish. Wing feathers start out white then the lacing starts to show as the grow.

i ordered 25. only 17 or so have lived so far though.

i dont have a good pic of the group, but those two are nearly twice as big as the smallest chicks. they are about the size of the cochin chicks. does that help?

And if they are cornish, does that mean they have to die? I think i read somewhere that you cant keep those as pets because since thyere for meat they dont live very long. is that correct?

Ideal also sells Buff Cornish in standard size. If you really think it is a cornish, no, you don't have to kill/eat it. If it is a purebred Cornish, then they lay a light to medium brown egg, are very stocky built with large chests. I have Dark Cornish and I love them. They love to scratch around and they aren't too bad at laying either.

Boiler chickens are the ones that have the shorter lifespan. Cornish have some relation with Asils (game breed). Lifespan can be like the rest of you bantams. I do think that they were breed for meat but you don't have to use them for it.
If you ordered 25 chicks than they are defiantly not packaging peanuts or standards (unless someone made a mistake).

okay. they have to be bantams, theyre just growing wayy fast. Those chicks are solid too! the little OEG (90% sure thats what those are) weigh next to nothing compared to them. I'm glad they hae the longer lifespan too. Thanks for all your help everyone!!!
