What Breed are the Broilers from Meyer Hatchery?

[chicksgalore]

I ordered the white broilers from Meyer Hatchery and am offering some for sale that we don't want. I just now realized that Meyer doesn't list a breed type for these chickens. They just say they're the fast-growing ones raised by commercial producers. Does anyone know what specific breed to call these?

Not a breed anyhow. A hybrid. Commonly known as CX or CornishRockX, although even that name is a bit confusing as the "stuff" that goes into these birds is pretty much a trade secret of the genetics corporations.

Thanks, at least I have something to tell potential buyers now.
