So I bought a bunch of chickens from TSC and I began researching the breeds only to find that pictures online look nothing like what I bought. Can anyone help me identify these breeds?

Perhaps a mix of some sort? Looking at pictures of Silver Laced Wyandotte chicklings, I would say it definitely contains that.
If it were a pure Blue Wyandotte, it would be mainly blue, none of those intricate facial markings, and I have a BW (Blue Wyandotte).

It might just be really low quality, Tractor Supply doesn't usually sell mixes but it's definitely possible.
 
If your feed store keeps the chicks in open-topped bins rather than closed cages it's not necessarily the store's fault when they get mixed.

At my local feed store I was hanging out watching chicks and saw one hop up to the top edge, balance there for a moment, then jump down into the next bin. So, in that store at least, the chicks were mixing themselves without help from either careless employees or careless customers. :D

All the bins have chicken wire frames over them, I wonder if thats the reason they put lids on them in the first place....
