Are these leghorns?

[sh0ptildr]

I have eight 3.5 week old chicks. I bought them from TSC when they were a day old. I was told the 2 white ones were leghorns they had a separate brooder with meat chicks in it and I'm curious if they had their chicks mixed up since these 2 white ones are larger than the rest. Please help me if you can. Thank you!!

One of them is more feathered and the other is kinda blotchy feathered.
I can get more pics if needed. Thank you again!!

I just picked up some chicks from someone who didnt want them anymore. She got hers from tsc. I assumed the white ones I got were leg horns as well but mine have greenish legs. What color legs does yours have

Here is a pic of their feet

Hard to tell at this age, the legs look too thin for them to be Cornish X, I think you'd be seeing the fat on them by now. They could be Leghorns, or maybe White Rocks. Watch for a long tail.

They do look like White Leghorns to me.

Are White Rocks meat birds? I just want pets/layers.
Thank you

White rocks are just like barred rocks but no barring. They are dual purpose meaning they lay pretty well and get big enough to use for meat.

I really doubt that's what they are, though. At least around here, they stock hybrid layers, assorted bantams, and a straight run bin of some "special breed" for the week. I've never seen white rocks there. They do stock the Cornish X meat birds but you definitely don't have those.

Yeah, more likely leghorns than rocks. They should be growing long tails in a few weeks and you'll be sure.

Ok cool! Thank you everyone for the quick responses!!

Ok so I am convinced one of these is a meat bird. It has gotten twice the size if my other 5 week old chicks. It's so fat it only walks a few steps before it lays down again. Seems to have trouble breathing too. It honestly seems to be growing faster than it can feather. . I'm still holding out hope my other white one is a leghorn. It doesn't seem to be in as much distress as the other one. But it is also pretty large.

The first is the one I think is a meat bird.
