Tractor Supply Mystery Bantam - What am I?

[eveliens]

I ended up keeping her because I have a lot going on and plan to rehome her with a buddy from her friend group. I ended up with at least 1 for-sure roo and 2 most-likely-roos sigh. Here's what she looks like now - still really small for a standard size bird. She's slightly smaller than my adult coturnix quail or my serama pullet. When I had the RIR and BPRs chicks, they were almost the size of my Japanese bantam hen (white bird in the pics) by the time they feathered out, which was funny since she was their foster mother and they followed her everywhere.

Sooo, I bought a “bantam” chick from tractor supply. It was super cute and it turned out to be a full size Easter Egger of some sort.
Her name is now “tractor supply” and she is an odd one… likes to watch the sky ALL THE TIME and chases my dog around the yard..

She looks like a character haha. My adult sebright hen loves to chase the dog as well.

A lot of times when there are only 1-2 chicks left in a bin they will toss them in a different bin of chicks and not change the label. I agree it looks much to large for a bantam.

I considered that as well. But I've never seen them carry EEs and I'd had been in there the week before and there were no chicks at all so they would've had to have been from the same shipment. In that case, either all the EEs but 1 died or for some reason the entire shipment was purchased except this 1. Both possible ofc. IDK this particular TSC isn't very good at getting in chicks - they only get them once a week (MAYBE) and never consistently carry anything other than ducklings. I don't know why so many ducklings LOL. I've only seen them carry bantams a handful of times over the past several years, and they've almost always been silkies, so I grabbed this batch without hesitation LOL.
