Did anybody else get coronation Sussex in an assortment from Tractor Supply?

I really think I have Coronation Sussex pullets from an assortment that I purchased from Tractor Supply. They say that it came from Hoover's Hatchery but I don't see where they sell Coronation Sussex. Maybe they were partnering was different hatcheries to meet demand this year?

I looked at them again this morning and they definitely have pink legs. Their legs are identical to my speckled Sussex legs.

I don't think it is a Coronation. Looking at their website, maybe it's a Delaware? My goodness they are so cute and fluffy like my Orpington. They are so pretty!

Not a Delaware. Delaware have yellow legs and barring on hackles and tail, which these birds don't have. Delaware:

I think you do in fact have CS, but I don't know how it happened.

I was going by their website. I just figured the darkening around the neck just hadn't come in yet. Either way, it is a beautiful bird and a wonderful surprise!

No, acorns. One of my friends asked the same question.

They have Assorted English Orpingtons and that was another thought I had, but their legs look just the same as the Speckled Sussex.
