Tractor supply gave me the wrong breed of chick?

[bockbockchicken]

So I just got 2 chicks from tractor supply, I asked for 2 barred rocks but I'm pretty sure they only gave me one barred rock and one of something else. I even went back in after looking at them and told them that they both weren't barred rocks but they insisted they were. Could anyone tell me if the chicken with stripes is a barred rock and if it's not what is it? (I only care because the barred rocks were pullets and everything else was straight run I think, I can't have roosters where I live) What do I do??

It's not a barred rock. They don't train employees about what the chicks are, so if it somehow ended up in the barred rock bin, to them it's a barred rock because that's all they know. If you call and say you paid for however many barred rock pullets but they gave you a chick that wasn't a barred rock pullet, they might refund you or offer to give you another pullet. They won't take it back.

Does this chick have feathered legs? What kind of comb? Any chance you could get a picture of it in profile? From what I can see of it, I'm thinking maybe it's a silver laced wyandotte.

The BR's I've ever had looked like the the black one with white spot on the head (which I believe indicates barring). Not sure about the striped chick. Best wishes

I agree with the above.. The dark chick with the white spot looks like a barred chick. The striped one however, I have doubts. Close up pics might help, if possible.

I just called to see what kind of chicks they have and they don't have any wyandottes. The barred rocks were in the same bin as the amerucanas so it could be a amerucana possibly?

Is it just me? Or does it look like it has a rose comb?

They might not think they have wyandottes, but that guy's got a rose comb and the perfect down coloring for the Silver Laced Wyandotte. So, it's a wyandotte, lol.
