Just got 17 new chicks in mail yesterday, hatched on Feb 1. Ordered 4 silver laced Wyandotte, 4 barred rock, 4 australorp, and 3 Americana. There were 2 extras thrown in from hatchery, one of them looks totally different than all the others. It is a uniform brown color, and it's legs are all brown, where the others legs are all yellow. Is it possible this is a little roo of some sort??? I actually would like for it to be as I have no rooster now.
 
It definitely could be a rooster. It's common hatchery practice to add boys to fill out the shipping box. You can post pictures to see if anyone can identify the breed.
