What breed is this?

Does the lady breed them? If so they very well could be white leghorn orpington mixes. If so the hen will be a good layer. They are definitely not pure leghorns- they have a very dual purpose chicken look to them. I have white leghorns and they have never looked that beefy and white leghorns are always supposed to be white. I'm thinking sex-link roos- they look just like a little bit older versions of the packing peanuts I got from the hatchery with my marans.
 
I do not believe those are pure leghorns. The white of a leghorn will mask most of the color but there will still be some leakage. But they seem too heavy bodied to be a leghorn. Leghorns, even production bred, are still a petite bird designed for layability not meat production. Probably not pure white rock either. Somewhere there's got to be a crossbred due to the leakage of color. Best guess here is a sex link of some sort-could be red, brown or gold, because I think they will occasionally have color leakage due to the cross that produced them. IMO
 
Definately not Leghorns. Wrong body type & no white earlobes.
Not a Rhode Islan White. THe comb is wrong.
Best guess is a White Rock cross of some sort.
 
no leghorn in them at all. the males being more off white makes me think Amber links. they are definitely of the sex link varities, but may be F2 (not first generation)
