Help ID some TSC chicks for me please

I agree with @jbadams66 . Maybe Cornish (esp if they are large). Jerseys, yes. Barred rocks, no.

I don’t know for sure what the white ones are but pretty good chance they are the Cornish rocks. Tractor Supply here seems to be only getting the Cornish rocks straight run and a couple breeds of pullets. The black ones are not barred rocks may be they are the Jersey Giants. It’s pretty hard to know what you are getting at TSC unless you are very well versed on chicken breeds. I took their word for it a while back because I was trying to stay at a distance and couldn’t see in the tanks ended up apparently with Easter Eggers instead of Cuckoo Marans. After I got home with them and thought about it I realized I didn’t get what I intended, oh well at least they were pullets.

Yeah I have been keep in the distance and took a look then when back and told them what I wanted. Not that it helped bc I’m no eggspert by anymeans. I have 11 Easter eggers from TSC my wife picked up. Waiting to see how many end up as Roos Bc she bought straight run

I remember reading about someone bringing home a couple of turkey poults from a TSC pullet bin!

I really hope not .

I really hope not .

Those are def not turkeys, but Cornish are possible. My Pet Chicken has a chick identifier with pics of day old chicks. It might help: https://www.mypetchicken.com/about-chickens/chicken-pictures/baby-chick-pictures.aspx

Doesn’t surprise me at all.

Barred Rock and Black Jersey Giant chicks look very similar to most people ... including feed store employees! BJG's generally have a bit more white/cream on them. Neither chicks are fluffy yellow ... ever!

Day old barred rock chick:

Day Old Jersey Giant Chick:

Now that your youngsters are older, check the bottoms of their feet. BJGs will have yellow on the bottoms of their dark legs. If the bottoms are pink, you may have black australorps. If you get some good profile pictures (full body) someone here is sure to recognize the breed, if not now, then in a few more weeks.
Good Luck!

My best guess(es) on the white chicks would be White Rock or possibly Cornish Rock Cross.

The black chicks might be Black Australorps.

I purchased all 12 from tractor supply on April 29th. I Honestly never asked age but I am guessing they were no more than 1 week old when I got them. Pics 4 & 5 were taken May 21. I will try to get some pictures of them next to each other today for size comparison.

Ruh-Roh! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your little black chicks aren't bantams, then you may have an issue with your big, white ones. It looks like TSC sold you Cornish Cross chicks aka known as "meaties." They're bred to develop VERY quickly into large-breasted, big-thighed dinner birds. They're usually "harvested" at about 8 weeks old, right before they get too big to walk.
