Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
So sorry to read about your home and your dogs. :hugs

I think you are confusing White Leghorns with Cornish crosses. Leghorns are a petite Mediterranean breed that lay large white eggs.
Barred rocks are a nice dual purpose breed that lay brown eggs as well as Black Australorps.
Good luck with restarting everything.

Welcome to BYC - Cornish cross are the birds that you want to stay away from. You are best feeding a particular diet for each life cycle of the birds.

Welcome to BYC! Agree that the Leghorns would be hard to plump like you are describing, they are a very petite, egg laying breed! And the best in the business!
Cornish "broilers" are probably what you want for a meat bird. A lot of them are ready to process at around 8-10 weeks I think.
Best of luck!!
