What do I have?

[Lydibid]

Ok, So I bought my chicks from the State Fair, and silly me forgot to ask what breed they were...I guess I was too excited to think straight (new chicken owner here!) Anyways, for a while I thought I had leghorns but recently I saw a picture that looks similar to my chicks, and it was of a cornish cross...So fingers crossed these are leghorns because I really only wanted them for eggs, I can't stomach the fact of eating my chickies (yet at least)

o and gender would be great too because I can't tell...

These guys are about 14-16 weeks old

thanks! let me know if these are enough or if you need more detailed pics to tell!

red ears... Not leghorns. They are pretty. I don't think you have to eat them. They look happy in their yard.

how ever, if you can get close up picks of their heads.. Especially the ears... Some one better knowing than I might be able to identify.

I doubt they are meaties if you got them from the fair. They might be white rocks.

 

[Lydibid]

sure!

hope this helps!

Looks like white rocks to me. They are too meaty to be leghorns and too skinny to be cornish x.

Cornish crosses would be huge - ready for the freezer weeks ago.

Yup, if they be red around the "ears"= brown eggs

Congrats on being a new chicken owner, beware, they are addicting! Keep 'em dry and fed and watered, and begin building more coops, you'll need them!
