What breed are these white bantams

[CascadiaRiver]

They were kept in a 6x6 pen with a decent size coop and like a 6x3 area under the coop. Never free ranged always penned up

I have to say there living condition overall was very dry, no mud, but plenty shade, and a fan with ventilation also.

The birds themself just look so unhealthy. Im not disagreeing with you over breed. When i get home
This afternoon i will catch one again and put innmy hand for comparison.. im 6’1 330 lb, so maybe that why it look off. I promise the bird innmy hand is same size as what u have

The proportions of the bird say otherwise though, if you compare yours vs the image bantams have a smaller rounder face, shorter beak, much smaller combs, etc. Your birds have the standard long beaks, normal sized heads, XL leghorn combs. I'll find a comparison picture if I have one from my old girl although she is a different color of leghorn, but I can guarantee your birds are not bantams. If you get a weight that would be helpful but while they may be smaller than what you're used to its not a bantam

Update. After actually seein them more in daylite and being around the other 30, they are fullsize. But dang theyre in rough shape. Each one weighs just over 2 lbs. breed is still up. If there leggerns i shoudl start getting white eggs . Currently only have 1 white layer; a polish. And i can pick hers out easily

You're getting 5 tan eggs a day + your polish?

No ; that was worded wrong.

I get around 20-25 eggs a day; and only one white egg that comes from a polish

I just received these 5 birds 2 days ago. Supposedly for the last 3 yrs the prior owner has got 3-5 TAN eggs a day.

My statement was saying when these girls integrate and start laying if i have more than one white egg i will know my culprit

Did the previous owner have other birds? I can't imagine those birds laying much with the state their in. Hatchery quality may also not be exactly like the standard, which might explain the eggs. Maybe a Leghorn cross?

I’ve never seen or heard of a leghorn cross bei sold at tsc

 

[CascadiaRiver]

I don't think they're crosses, they look just like your average leghorn, I will expect them to lay a white egg once healthy

While i agree i still cant get over the fact that the prior owner only had these 5 birds and for the last 3 years has consistently gotten 3-5 TAN & brown every day. There coop was immaculate and not a speck of mud. It was all sandy & deep litter. So cant say the white eggs got dirty and look tan.

See attached photo; i have 2. I was given 5 birds in a less than inhabitable case. Just nursing them alone.

They were born early 2022 and supposedly lay a tan egg
