In TSC's defense (and they may just be clueless, as many feed store workers are concerning chickens in general), many breeds can be VERY difficult to tell apart as day-olds, and even up until they are fully feathered out.

There are many breeds that start out as fuzzy off-white/yellowish chicks...

I can't help you as far as WHAT that chick is - I'm assuming it's not a mix if their chicks came from a large hatchery, so eventually you'll get it figured out as they grow.

I took a chance on some cute chicks at TSC I was HOPING were EEs and now I'm pretty sure they are Dark Cornish, at 5 wks old... At least so far it seems that the 'pullet' bin was correctly labeled, as all 10 chicks are looking girly so far!
