This was supposed to be a rhode island red. I thought maybe it was just a roo and that's why it looked so different than the other one and was so much bigger than everyone else at first but now i'm not so sure. I got a few different results trying to image search these, and the only one i found that looked exactly like it was an unanswered forum post asking what breed it was.
It's a little over 9 weeks old now, and i included a chick pic incase that helps. I got them from sutherlands which uses hoover hatchery.
Thanks in advance!

I haven’t had the best luck with getting the correct chicks from Hoover’s hatchery in the past, and they’ve got so many that look like that….

Well, it could be an ISA brown, Rudd Ranger, Calico princess, or Golden Comet, perhaps even a RIR, as there is a pretty good amount of variation in the breed. On the bright side, they all lay brown! (Except perhaps the Rudd Ranger)

Seriously though, good luck. You’ll need it!

At worst i guess i just have to wait a little while longer for them to fill out. I'm new to chickens, and like to research my breeds before getting them just in case there's any special care needed or things i should look out for or something. So the surprise chicken has me anxiously waiting to research, and i am impatient. Thanks!! lol
