So, do these chicks look like white rocks? Or what else might you suggest?
They started off yellow, turned solid white, and are not very friendly compared to my RIRs. They really won't hold still long enough for a non-blurry pic. My camera is sloooooow.
They are about 23 days old today:

i would say leghorn not cornish, cause LOOOK at those SKINNY LEGS!
 
oh they are definitely not Cornish!

I was thinking either White Rock or Leghorn, but I really don't know the differences.
They both lay good I think, right?
They all came from the pullet bin and all seem to be pullets, so I should be OK either way, I was just curious.

Yes both leghorns and white rocks and very good layers, and cute! leghorns lay a nice white egg and white rocks, lay a nice brown egg.

Oh, nice. I didn't know that. It'll be easy for me to tell when they start laying

hehehe

I'm kindof partial to brown eggs myself
 
Their long legs and body shape remind me a lot of the white leghorns I've got.

You'll be able to tell which they are long before they start laying. Rocks will have red earlobes, and leghorns will have white earlobes. In general, red earlobes mean brown eggs, and white earlobes mean white eggs.
