Does anyone know this breed or gender?

These are Cornish X chicks. They reach butchering age at 8-9 weeks old. They cannot be kept as pets, as they become so overweight they can no longer walk. They also develop severe health issues and often pass of heart attacks.

I'm sorry this happened. Tractor supply really needs to provide more information or at the very least warn people. This happens repeatedly to people every year a this time.

Some people here will tell you you can keep them on a diet, or exercise them, but it only extends their suffering. If you cannot butcher them please find someone who will.

Oh that is horrible.

Look at those shanks... @Rhodebar Lover @The Moonshiner... What's going on here?

I have no clue about those shanks. Very strange, but they do look to be Cornish Xs... I also agree with your gender guesses and that genders don't really matter though for this breed :/

IDK. I'd guess somehow that one doesn't have the sex linked dermal inhibitor gene that it should.
