Anyone Know What This Is?

My sister got four chicks from the local Tractor Supply store. All of them were from the Bantam bin.
This one was all yellow and smaller than than the others (all the yellows in the bin were smaller than the rest). It is about 2 weeks old. We figured it was a male when we looked at the wings when we got it, but if we are wrong that's fine, though I'm not looking for it to be sexed on here, the pictures aren't good for that.
I hope the pictures are good enough for figuring out the breed.

Possibly Black Tailed White Japanese? Just adorable!

Looks like a normal sized Delaware.

Hope it isn't an impostor. That baby is pretty big to be a bantam at 2 weeks. My 4 week old OEGB chicks are that size.

Let's see, I believe the clerk at the store said the chicks were a day or two old and we got them on March 30th.

It is still a touch smaller than the others. One I know is a Cochin.

Odds are, you didn't get bantams at all if they are all that size or larger. Feed store chicks are shipped from hatcheries the day that they hatch. It takes at least 2 to 3 days to ship. The feather development indicates age is about 2.5 weeks.

Talking with my sister, the bin we got them from had mixed breed Bantams and Buff Orpingtons. The others have definitely shown to be Bantams.

You have to remember that the labels on the bin might not correspond to the chicks inside. Sometimes they just forget to change them out when new shipments come in. Or they put the chicks into whichever bin is nearest, without even looking at labels.

True. Hopefully that's not the case. I'll post a picture if the others.

Excuse the low quality, I didn't want to disturb them more than I had been so didn't pull the bin into the light.

The black one looks to be a Rosecomb Bantam. It would explain why the tail feathers look so funny. She seems scared but will jump at and bite my finger.

The gray and white one (with more white bits) is the Cochin. I chose it because I liked its feathery feet.

Don't remember what the more gray one was, but she's gorgeous and quite brave. She will let sit in my hand without holding her down and she's constantly jumping out of the bin so we normally have a thing over it.

Then the yellow one, which does not have a tail right now.
