Someone dropped these off, wondering what they are........

Ok, someone came to our farm and dropped off these birds, the guy said they are 11 weeks old, and he said they are leghorns. Now i don't think they are, but im not sure so i came to the experts.

As a kind of size comparison I am 6'3" 300 lbs hehehe they don't call me big phil for the fun of it.

So what do you all think?

Pretty heavy for 11 weeks old, i'm thinking they might be Cornish x however i am not too sure.


They are at least 10 lbs. a piece.

My guess is Cornish.......but I'm not familiar with the breed so I'm not really sure.

that bird is huge. and i have no idea what it is... sorry!

looks like a leghorn just alot bigger- I have some leg horns that are about 6 weeks old and they are 3times the size of the other chicks

That looks like Cornish-Rock cross

Yup, I am thinking Cornish X, too. There is no way that is a Leghorn. Leghorns are such a light, delicate built bird.

As adults my Leghorns weighed in at a whopping 4 1/2 lbs with HUGE floppy combs and skinny legs- I think you have a white Cornish cross.

Im thinking cornish x because leghorns @ 11 weks old would have huge combs by now. Also, leghorns should mature to 5-5 1/2 lbs.

So pretty much, Big Phil should be ready for a big chicken dinner!
