Did Tractor Supply give me the wrong chick?

[mermaid_of_the_farm]

I have six pullets that I brought home from TS about 10 weeks ago. 2 sapphire olive eggers, 2 cream legbars, and 2 welbars. So far I've been able to keep up with which is what but noticed the welbars look very different. Can someone help me id my girls and tell me if they are indeed both welbars or something else? Thanks in advance!

I think the first one might be a Welbar cockerel

x2, definitely a cockerel and looks like a Welbar. The second one is a pullet.

You have a pair of Welbars,an autosexing breed.The males is barred and the female has a salmon colored chest

Oh my sea stars, nooooo. They are both supposed to be pullets! I'm guessing TS doesn't take returns
What is the general advice given out on what to do here? I already have one roo and another cockeral just a little older than this one. Thank you all for helping me.

Not much you can do but try to rehome him. Tractor Supply won’t exchange him or anything. You can try Facebook marketplace or Craigslist

Is it a concern at all for the welbar pullet to be the only welbar left in the flock if I rehome him? I'm wondering if it's better to rehome them together.

No, she should be fine. I’d keep her.

Chickens ususlly mingle just fine, they don't care about color, type or breed. There are a couple of breeds that are very meek that sometimes get bullied if they are in a flock with birds that are very assertive, but that is because of differences in temperament, not color or feather type.

Good to know, thank you!
