Unfortunately, misidentifications happen. They *may* offer to replace the chicks.....but the primary focus is what to do with these birds.
 
If you're not going to process them yourself, you may consider posting them on Craigslist. Just be sure you state that they are meat birds and will need to be processed in the next month or so. Since they're meat birds you should at least be able to recover what you spent on the chicks.
Don't be tempted to keep them and hope you can prolong their lives. There's thread upon thread of people who've tried that and they always end as one would expect. Meat birds are not meant to live long and cannot successfully be kept as pets.

Thank you so much for this very helpful information! I am so glad I asked!
What would y'all suggest I sell them for? I have no idea...

Where are you located?
I think they could sell for maybe 5 dollars in my area.
Maybe that much.
