What Breed Are These Pale Yellow TSC pullets?

[rocky41102]

Is there a way to tell the difference based on their comb at this age? I've been looking at different pictures of leghorn and Cornish X chicks and I'm kind of slightly leaning toward leghorn but it's so hard to tell and it could just be wishful thinking! Is there any other way to tell the difference? How soon will they start being way bigger than the other ones?

Congratulations on your new babies! Here is a video of leghorn babies at this stage done by Murray McMurray. They have videos of several breeds of chicks along with descriptions- it's great to help identify what you have if you get a "grab bag" sort of chicks.
Enjoy your babies

I don't know about your TSC, but my TSC carries California White Leghorns, so that is a posibility!

I see this thread is from 2011. I'm wondering what breed you ended up with because I'm in the exact same position. I couldn't resist the pretty pale yellow chick in the pullet bin but I don't know what breed it is.

Cornish Rocks-you need to kill them at about 12 weeks old...or their legs collapse, they have heart attacks etc. Strickly a broiler and you need to feed broiler rations (so no pigging our with other chicks 24/7)...and TSC is a Cluster Poo this year with labling their breeds...WOW its BAD!

It is bad--the Cluster Poo--esp for a first timer. My TSC had one group labeled Rock Cornish. Cute, chubby yellow. I considered picking up a couple of them until the gal told me they weren't sexed and I could get a rooster. She said they get very large but did not provide any of the details you gave on diet, age to kill, etc. She said I could mix them with the others. Hmmm. I would have been horrified to have broken legs, heart attacks, etc. and I might never have found the cause.

Whoops, didn't realize this post was 10 yrs old. Still good info on the Cornish though.
