Hello, all. I am brand new to raising chickens. I decided to start my flock with Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks. I bought some Barred Rocks at Tractor Supply, but they put 2 in that clearly are not Barred Rocks. They look considerably different from the chicks that I know are Barred Rocks. Does anyone have any guesses as to what they may be?

Number 1-Solid black feathers, beak, feet and has 5 toes.

Number 2-mostly black with a white chest and no barring or white spot on the head.

The closest TSC to me has has black sex links once, black australorps once, and black jersey giants 12 of the 14 times I've looked over the past 7 weeks... counting only shipments I see for the first time.

Edit to add: And many others that are clearly not what your chicks are.
 
I just got a &mystic onyx’ from our feed store that looks a lot like your top one. Their chick breeds are usually pretty accurate. Mine is pretty black all over except for just a hint of tiny bronzy specks in some of her feathers.
