Can anyone ID this chick??

I bought some Cornish Rock chicks and they are not growing up to be Cornish Rocks......at least none that I have ever seen....Anyone have any guesses what they might be?? Most of them appear to be roos so far but not knowing what breed they are who knows. LOL

Meyer has a meat bird they call a Rainbow Ranger, some of them look to be that red/white barred looking color, there are a pics of a couple that they call the tricolor on their website

yeah, they look like the brown broiler to me. They have been called different names: Rainbow Rangers, Red Rangers... but they are essentially the same breed. From the photo, I see some real Cornish Crosses, but it is funny how you ended up with some Red Rangers. Did they give them to you as a gift?

Thanks for the info! I bought them at Tractor Supply so I don't know what hatchery they came from. They had already had them for a week and they had not sold.....and of course they didn't know what kind they were so I got them for $1 each! So they weren't a gift but close enuf lol. I figured what ever they are they will either lay eggs for me or of course they are made of meat so I can't loose!
