One of these chicks is not like the others…

[Autolyse]

We purchased four Colombian Rock Cross pullets from TSC this past week, but upon closer look, one of the chicks looks nothing like the others!

Three are petite and have the black and white wing feathers coming in, and then the other has these little nubby wings with white feathers and just looks… bigger?

I was wondering if it might be a leghorn as they had those pullets for sale too.

Am I imagining things or is the nubby-winged one something else?

Thank you all! First post here and I’m excited to join the community.

It’s kind of hard to tell with the red light .. but it looks a lot like a boiler chick like a Cornish rock.

Here’s a better photo of the one little bud:

That’s a chunky chick, were they selling meat birds as well?

They just had barred rock, white leghorns, Columbia rock cross, and then some ducks!

I can’t be certain, but my parents have done boilers my whole life so the chick looks familiar. This is what Cornish cross or Cornish rocks look like as chicks.
