How long until you can tell Cornish X's and Leghorns apart?

Just got some day old chicks and they threw some extra pale yellow birds in. How old do they have to be to tell them apart?

Post pics, they look very different.

Can you tell me how to differentiate them?

They're too young to tell right now, but it shouldn't take too long. The Cornish crosses will grow much faster, and have much thicker legs and breasts. Give it a few weeks.

Hm...can you maybe do pics of them in normal light, standing up?

Thank you guys! I think I'll just wait it out to see which one is which. I have quite a few and am sure I'd get duplicates. Thanks again!
