What Breed am I?

[Kaliki4]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what breed my chicks might be? They were part of a class project for my son's 2nd grade class. They hatched the eggs in the class room. We brought them home May 19 and they are now 1 month and 3 weeks old. I hope that I posted the pictures correctly. Any help will be appreciated.

They look a lot like the little white chicken I have and posted about here in this part of the forum. I was told it was a White Rock and I think those look like it too!

That lil tot looks like a Delaware chick to me.

They would have barring on their hackles and saddle.

Delaware:

I think that they're both White rock cockerels.

Adult white Plymouth Rock:

White Rock.
Probably a cockerel.
NOT a Leghorn, they are much more petite built. White Rocks were used in making the Cornish Rock crosses that everyone raises for meat birds.

I actually have 4 chicks that we brought home and only one is a hen.

I only know that they hatched form brown eggs? Do the Delawares lay brown eggs?

im no expert but if they were hatche in school could they be white leghorns since they are a great layer at 300+ eggs a year.
like i said no expert and could be byased as this is my first flock of leghorns i dont know yet as mine are only a week old

sorry have slowwwww internet and did not see that they were brown eggs so prob not leghorns

Delawares are brown eggs, but so are Rocks and most of your dual purpose chickens.

If it were a Cornish Rock cross, it would be eating size already. This one is, no doubt in my mind a White Rock.

I also vote white rocks- definitely not delaware chicks.
