I bought my chickens from TSC in March. I found out later they mislabeled the chicks so I have no idea what breed they are. Theyre standard sized birds and lay medium-large brown eggs. Here’s a pic of my rooster. I can supply more pictures if needed. Thanks!

Are the pullets white too?
The dark eggs confuse me but he could be a white Rock.

The pullets are mostly white. They have some brown/tan on the tops of their wings, back, and base of their necks. I would get a picture but they’re sleeping and it’s been raining so they’re a little dirty.
 
They could be amberlinks. I've seen some at TSC out here (Arizona). they are in a sense, sexlinks (the Czech project sells parent stock to hatcheries). so generations alternate: white male/darker female, and vice versa the next generation. But I had a variety from totally white to practically brown/red with white lacing (all pullets). And, they laid dark eggs like you're showing. They feathered fast, starting to molt into adult plumage around 4.5 weeks, and started to lay at 18 weeks practically to the day, having hatched 11/14. So if any of this is consistent with what you're seeing, maybe that's what you have!

TSC mislabeled chicks? Im shocked! ( said with sarcastic tone). TSC is notorious for that. 🤣🤣
