Leghorns?? or not...

Is anyone able to tell me what kind of chicks these are? Leghorns? I am a new chicken owner, so kind of clueless.
These chicks have taken off and are bigger in size than all the other ones I have.

Oh sorry....I am wondering about the yellow ones. The lighting is not all that great but I did my best.

Cornish X is my guess- their feet are huge and it doesn't look like they have long legs. They look like butterballs. We raised some last year and I really liked them- very sweet chickens in a dopey from snow white kinda way.

So this next question will prove how chicken dumb I really am.....are they more of a meat bird than a layer? Their feet are huge...essentially huge butterballs!!

And now I have answered all my questions...I ran and googled them quick!

They are a meat bird, not meant for laying. They grow very fast, eat a lot, and are meant to be butchered around 8 weeks. You can keep them longer, but you run the risk of heart and leg problems.
