Granny's gone and done it again

the more I read of all the issues and problems with incubating your own the more I have happy ordering chicks from Cackle Hatchery.
funny thing is, this man has a really good rep around here.

So the bigger ones are the Orpington and Wyandotte. I’ve got two greys, one multicolor brown and one blacky.
Ok, Prostar, I got it figured... I think.

big yellow is buff Orpington
2 little grey Langshans with feathered legs
1 lovely little black Australorp
1 little Spangled Hamburg- yellow headed brown body (it is not a Silver, but a Golden Spangled Hamburg)

Your mystery chick is the big one you were expecting to be a Silver Laced Wyandotte. It could still be SLW, yellow legs and some white coming in are correct, but the comb is wrong. SLWs have rose combs, which look wide and flat. The chick in your pic has a single comb, but it still could be a Wyandotte, just with he wrong comb.
Honestly, I have not been impressed with hatchery Wyandottes of any color... they are not the best personality and lay small eggs. You might be better off with a Barred Rock or Cuckoo Marans or Domenique... did your TSC have any of those?

I put a pic here. Not sure if I know how to find it or not. Probably just like yours but cheaper and no umm,, bacteria ??
The flora stuff for their crops is a plus, great for birds that have just gone through worming or other med treatments. Helps them get back to normal.
