Too many white chickens!!!

[NealB.]

Hi guys,

Brand new to this forum. This is post number 1

I hope you guys can help.

I am not new to chickens, had them since I was a boy, but only your standard egg birds i.e. Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks and the like. Past 3 years or so I've been getting more into it. My wife is a school teacher and hatches in her class room every year. We have done guinies, eastern wild turkeys and different types of chickens. I also have started odering and butchering meat birds [cornish x rocks]. I've ordered from the same hatchery many times and always got what I ordered and have been very happy. My last order I went through my local feed store....
Don't ask why I didn't order myself, I was so close to the 25 bird minimum. Something went terribly wrong

. I ordered.

2 rhode Island reds
3 red star
3 black star
1 leg horn
1 white rock male
1 barred rock
and 6 cornish x rocks

All the colored birds are correct but only god [and hopefully you] know what the rest are. There all white birds to me and definatly not cornish x rocks.

These are all apox. 3 months old.

I have 3 of these

3 of these

This fat thing that was supposed to be my white rock male.

Its feet are kinda dark olive and she is twice the size of the rest also has a buff colored fether mixed in... and looks tasty.


This beauty which I like and I think is a buff rock but not sure. Happy surprise.

We also hatched some eggs that we ordered as white rocks and got these. They hatched 5/27.

.

Some were dark mixed black and yellow when hatched and have olive feet while others were yellow or yellower all over with yellow feet.

Any help on identification would be great.

Thanks alot and sorry for the long post, NealB.

Of the white chickens picture #1 is your White Rock Rooster, #2 could be a Leghorn Pullet (the body type is right, but I would expect more comb at 3 months old), #3 is a Cornish X Rock Pullet.

I'm definately not an expert but I don't think that the first two pictures are of a cornishX. The X has way thicker, shorter legs and would be pretty fat by now. And would certainly not be able to stand nice and erect like yours. I think the top pic is of a white rock rooster. The bottom pic is a cornishX. I think the middle pic is of a white rock pullet.

The first and third pics look exactly like my Cornish X.
