Unknown chick breed? Was told it was barred rock.

it does not help when most employee's don't have any idea about chickens, nor how to even take care of them. then like me I got quite a shock with my recent hatch and know my Rhode Island white rooster which is heritage breed got out cause my black olive egger gave em a white chick when she is with an Amerecauna Rooster lol, main flock free ranges and the RIW and his hens are penned to keep them pure, guess it's possible through the chain link of the run sometimes your chickens just like to make ya scratch your head lol
 
Agree. Not a GLW. Also, legs don’t look very yellow and Wyandotte’s have yellow legs, and should have the rose comb. The feathers are not laced, but rather look more like Partridge, but maybe penciled.
I'm seeing a rose comb. :confused: The lacing don't develops more as they mature.

Sure. The chick is a bit young for determination. However, does not look like lacing, but I'm not an expert. Just basing it off my SLW and several GLW chicks I've had. And the lacing does improve as the bird ages, so young chick feathers don't have the traditional lacing. However, the chicks in @izzybe3 original post don't appear to have the feather pattern of a laced bird at this point.

Op will have better success with breed and gender determination with a few more weeks of age. That way, comb/wattles, and feathering are more apparent and more developed. Also, pics with leg color than can be easily seen is also helpful.

We had just one SLW female from last year:
