Could they of gave me the wrong breed (s)... updated!

Went to take my mama to Memphis last Wednesday. Decided to locate a feed store so I googled one and went to it. I bought several chicks there...two of them are supposed to be Delaware’s. These are the two but I’m very curious to why the other one is gaining so much weight and getting so much bigger. They possibly could be different ages but I’m kind of worried as to the size of the other one she just seems to weigh a ton. What do you think?

one is a cornish x. sorry, meat bird.

they are a VERY unhealthy type of chicken and will die young and have lots of issues. i personally am very unhappy that such breeds would even be created.

I actually thought that.. and that means she doesn't have a long life ugh! Oh well I be putting her pic on our local feed store for whoever wants her when time comes..

They do not look like Delawares. Do they have any spots, stripes or speckles down their backs? I am leaning towards the Cornish diagnosis.

But the other one looks like a normal chick right??
If Memphis wasn't 3 hours away I take her back!

the other is a normal chick, but i don't know that it is a delaware.
