How old are they? Their legs appear to be too thick for a leghorn, but your chicks don't seem to be overly heavy like a meat bird. I'm leaning toward meat birds. Any pictures of individual chicks?

Cornish are not necessarily excessively large with bald wings. You are thinking of cornish X rocks, a cross breed. Cornish X Rocks are table ready at about 8 weeks. Cornish will still have a lot of growing to do, as will rocks. Cornish have a pea comb; plymouth rocks and leghorns have single combs. Cornish and plymouth rocks will have red earlobes; leghorns have white. Leghorns will be the "slimmest" of these breeds.
 
Actually I am thinking that these birds are just white Plymouth rocks. Their body in not very heavy, plus I have one of the same bread that is tiny. I will update everyone as they get older.
