Are they cockrells? They looks just like mine.

I wonder if I can put him in my bag and sneak him back in the bin at tractor supply...

I say wait a little longer. It might just be the breed/age difference. My Saphire Gem was older than the other three girls I purchased (she was 2 weeks old all others were day olds).
She had thick legs and a little comb on top. I was so worried I’d been sold a male.
Fast forward- she’s laying eggs. And she still has thicker legs than the others.

I agree...wait it out. You never know.
Thick legs does not necessarily mean boy.

And my EE is a lavender with grey legs

I’ve never seen green legs on a chicken- that’s pretty cool

Some EE's do have green legs and some do not.
It is not a standard thing that all EE must have green legs.

I have 2 EE with beards and black legs. I have a white bird no beard and green legs that I think is an EE she hasn’t laid yet, but will soon.

Yeah I agree it's a welsummer, maybe a light brown leghorn. You'll be able to distinguish later on when ge combs and earlobes start being more pronounced.
Legorns = massive combs and white earlobes
Welsummer = smaller comb and red earlobs.
But I think you probably got what you paid for.
I dknt think it's a cockerel yet. Wait and see if any black feathers start appearing on its neck and chest.

Oh yes! My sister almost slaughtered two brown leghorns I bought for her. They had huge combs and she was convinced they were Roos. Luckily one laid an egg on Camp day. -saved by the egg- lol

You got that right!
