Our grain delivery guy dropped off some cute little 9 week old pullets. At least they're supposed to be pullets.
Can someone tell me what kind they are? They're very pretty.

I agree - they sure look like pullets - especially since they're 9 weeks old. I would only be guessing at the breed, though. Maybe white rocks?
 
What type of comb do they have? From here they look rose combed, so I am thinking they are White Wyandottes.
I honestly don't know what each type of comb is supposed to look like. lol I've had Silkies for 2 years and that's pretty much all I know about chickens.
I will have to get better shots of the girls tomorrow, unless someone can tell with these pictures what they are.
 
Could they be Leghorn??

After visiting my dear friend Google and looking through all the breeds mentioned above. I'm almost thinking they could be Leghorn or the White Rocks? Aren't Cornish-Rocks a tad bit bigger? These girls are the same size as the Ameracauna & Orpington chicks that are about 2 months.

I doubt it. I can't really see their ears, but they are do not have the proper body type. Leghorns are thin, hyperactive little buggers. Take a look at your Orpingtons comb (that is single), then the Ameraucanas (that is pea). If your white's have a single comb then they are probably White Rocks, if they have a flat comb (somewhat like the pea only not so rigged) then they are probably White Wyandottes.

I'm pretty sure they have single combs. I'll take a better look when I go out that way today. So I guess we have some White Rocks.

Thank you!
