A friend of ours had us go by TSC and pick up some chicks for some Easter pictures that she was going to do. She knew I had chickens and asked if I would help out, so I had my wife pick up three chicks. I told her to make sure they were pullets. I don't need any more roosters!!!! lol So today, I went by TSC since I was in the area and looked at the chicks they had. Low and behold, I saw a bin with Cornish broilers and it hit me: I wonder if the chicks my wife picked up was a broiler not leghorns like I had thought at first. I didn't even know they sold meat birds.
So from this picture can you tell what breed the three white chicks are?

They look like leghorns.
Don't worry if you had meat birds you would know, they grow really really fast, have extremely thick legs and are slow moving.
Plus their faces always look like they had just waken up! Lol
 
My cornish x stick pretty close to the ground and have big bald patches where they grow faster than they feather in. Your chicks look like my leghorns, so I would say thats what they are.

I got some Cornish X chicks this year. They are really really fat and do look like there's something really wrong with them. Mine, however, are fully feathered, no bald patches and they are less than a month old, tyvm.

And tehy run, flap, and jump along with my other chicks. I have them all outside. It's plenty hot enough here in NC.
