My daughter is doing poultry for 4-H and she originally ordered Cornish-cross birds but when she went to pick them up she was told to grab 4 our of the meat bird box. She grabbed two white birds thinking maybe they were Cornish-cross birds...I don't think either are now. Leg colors tell me an American Breese is the one with "blue" legs...not sure of the other. He is one right, white feathers but buff legs. We also got two others we are guessing Ginger Broiler. Attaching photos and any help would be great.

Bresse are a pretty rare breed, but the left one could be one if the place you bought them from carries American Bresse. The other white one could be a white Jersey Giant. The big red one does look like a meat bird with its broad breast. Ginger broilers or red rangers are two types I can think of. Again, it de pends on what the seller raises.
 
We ordered from a local feed store. I may have my daughter call to see who the breeder is and what they carry. It was a mixed lot of meat birds even though we asked for Cornish-cross birds for 4-H. Thanks for you're help.
