White Leghorns. In another 10 weeks, give or take a couple, they'll start giving you white eggs.

Outstanding birds when given enough space to feel secure, but a bit nervous and flighty in close quarters.

Orpingtons would (should) have the pearly white legs.

No chance that they are white rocks?
They are free ranging starting this week and are ok tempermentally, no problems. The most curious of my 30 plus, the first ones to do everything.
. I had a feeling that they could be leghorns, but given their rep I was sort of hoping not.
I do wonder how llong they will last given how whte they are. we have plenty of cover, but they do not exactly blend in.
How old are they when they start to lay?

It looks like they have white earlobes. If so, leghorns. Red earlobes would rule out leghorns. Can you confirm?

Oh, yes. It didn't occur to me, but White Plymouth Rock is a definite possibility. As monkeyingaroundfarm posted, the earlobes will tell you.

They do look much heavier than my White Leghorns did at that age. Mine looked very gamebirdy for a long time. The Rocks are a much heavier bird and also have the yellow legs. They're much more suited to a backyard environment.
