Mislabeled by TSC as SLW...single combed!

[ATeacherChick]

So a while back I bought some clearance chicks 0.50 each) from TSC. They were in a mixed bin of "Rhode Island Red and Silver Laced Wyandotte" I bought 6 of the SLW, and noticed upon getting them home that four had single combs. I figured they were sex link pulleys until a few of them turned into obvious cockerels with wattle and combs by 3 weeks old. Two of the six are SLW, but what do these guys look like? All four of the mystery chicks have this same look, and I have two pulleys and two cockerels. They are heavy set little things.

Definitely not SLW's! EE's maybe? Hopefully someone better at chickie ID can help. Try posting in this thread! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/what-breed-or-gender-is-this.15/

Maybe Dixie Rainbows or some other mixed color layer strain. Also, I know some hatcheries have crossed black Leghorns onto Iowa Blues and are selling them as Iowa Blues, so that is a possibility, although doubtful if these are very heavy. Iowa blues should be around the size of a Rhode Island red or Australorp.

TSC carries "Asian blacks" from Hoover. They're a heavy dual purpose type, like freedom rangers, dixie ranbows, etc.

They look a lot like my mislabeled BSL from TSC. Im pretty confident I ended up with Asian black/Asian black x so I think that’s your best guess
