What breed please very light brown meant to be one of the commercial egg layers the guy only stocks brown commercial egg layers

Yea I thought that to cheers for that, these are 17 or 18weeks now and any 17wk old buff Orpington I Seen pics of already was alot bigger n chunkier by then.. maybe gold line? Gold comet? A few darker hens of DeKalbs? Or actual DeKalb browns maybe? Marigolds are similar light brown gold beige egg layers like these but look like they have speckles going thru there body and mine only have a few light markings on there necks other than there creamy biege feathers everywhere else? It's driving me crazy tryna work out what production/commercial egg layers these are? Seeing as they come from a egg production/commercial egg laying breeder that this guy always gets he's chics from??

Both gold line and gold comet look much darker colours. Even dekalb browns seem darker. I dont have commercial breeds, only heritage breeds, so i'm not too sure.

Do you see the comparison to the lighter "blue tails" in the pic with the black neck ringed black tails tho to my really light brown beige coloured hens yea mate? Man if these ain't producing basically 6 to 7 eggs a week by February there going to somone else.. 3 or 4 of my ISA browns or possibly ginger isa browns pol 6month olds are currently laying basically every day now even in middle of cold winter in UK at mo with night temps ranging between 1c and 6c at the moment.. just with a household light in there coop on a timer for 16hours daylight..

Ok so i got a second opinion and they said they look like hatchery buff orpingtons.
I probably got it wrong cause they look very different to heritage buff orpingtons, sorry.
I know u didn’t want buff orpingtons, maybe you could rehome them, or sell them?

Yea maybe we will see.. as also found this "amber hen" that apparently lays 300 eggs a year so hopefully it's one of those?

The thing is I've just spoke to the guy I got em from and he re assured me again n said again that he's supplier only stocks all the best commercial egg layers and breeds with them only and said don't worry just wait till they start laying and you will see.. so I don't see how it could be buff orpingtons or hatchery buff orpingtons? what's the difference and what eggs per year do hatchery buff orpingtons produce?? There all sold to him as a mixed bunch of different brown egg laying commercial line producers so I can't see how Orpingtons have been mixed up in a commercial egg laying breeders bunch of chics?

LOL sorry no

Heres the pic of the adult golden comet that made me think could be that breed seeing as it's a production hen also and also a light beige gold colour like my younger 4 month old light colour hens...nearest Iv found so far other than buff orpingtons which are not production line hens.. and again please remember the golden comet pic is a full grown adult and mines are only 4months old but i can see the feather colour comparison..

LOL sorry no
