I got 6 three day old chicks from TSC on 3/20. They had their Cornish Rocks mixed in with all the other chicks

so there is a good possibility that I have some meaties. 2 of the 4 yellow chicks that I got are growing quite a bit faster than everyone else. They are very "fleshy" looking. I also have an EE and a New Hamp Red in the brooder that are 5 days older than the yellow/white chicks. The EE and NHR are a little bit smaller than the white chicks.

Here all the chicks are at 12 and 17 days old. Take a look and let me know what y'all think. TIA!

All of the chicks...
4 yellow/white mystery chicks, that could be Cornish Rocks, at 12 days old
2 yellow/black(white/black) very small chicks, that might be Silver Lakenvelders, at 12 days old
1 EE at 17 days old
1 NHR at 17 days old

The yellow/white chick between the 2 small chicks (top right) is quite a bit smaller than the other yellow/white chicks, and it isn't feathering out as fast either.

I have 8 cornish X,,3 days old..look just like mine,they are bigger than your other chicks,I was at tractor supply yesterday and saw the same mix.whites were bigger by 1/3rd than the other chicks
 
Most of the TSC stores get the following order or some combination of it.

25 Cornish
50 RIR St Runs
100 Assorted St. Runs
100 Assorted Pullets
50 Bantams
40 Ducks

The numbers vary from store to store but those are the items. I can tell you a lot of the assorted in the Texas stores will be Gold Sex Links and White Leghorns.
 
Well that's different, your chicks would be 13 days old now, right? Look at my chicks on day 15.

Your chick aren't nearly that developed, and it took my chicks 9 days to get from what yours look like now, to the pics above. Mine were 6 days old when they looked like yours do.

What does everyone else think of this?
