Thought I was getting pure White Rocks....but???

with my best guess, they look like a Brahma, Orpington cross, perhaps light brahma and white orpington? the female's shape looks more Orpington then Brahma and the male's shape more Brahma then Orpington. Aswell as both of them have white leg characteristics of an Orpington, and a pea combed shape of a Brahma. All in all, theye could be a number of crosses.

Those big spurs HURT too! When I was 10, we kept crossbred layers, and we had a rooster with each flock that always grew HUGE spurs, big as a man's pinky finger. One day, I went in to get the eggs, and BAM! I get hit right between the bones that make up the knee, and he sent me right out of the henhouse backwards. My dad went in with a grain shovel and smacked him around, and whacked off one of his spurs with the shovel. He was never agressive with my father after that...but shortly became Fox Chow.

I was going to say these are part Langshan from the uprightness of the rooster's stance. I would keep them and cross them with some white Cornish (Not the hybrids) and hatch out some meat birds. I would think that should produce a nice quality meatie. In fact, that is one of the crossings I am looking at doing to get some for my freezer this next year. I don't want to do those freaky, stinky CornishXRocks again.
Good luck.
