What breed are my Tractor supply chicks?

I bought these at tractor supply and I was told the blonde ones were americaunas ( blue laying eggs) and the red one was a white leghorn ( white eggs)
I think the red one looks more like a Rhode Island Red to me. I’m not sure if the blonde ones are correct or not I can’t seem to find pictures online for reference
I turned the lamp off to get a clear pic of their color
I’ll include pics of when I first got them and of them now

Americaunas wont come from TSC. Pure breed Americaunas usually start at $10 and up per chick. Most places will sell Easter Egger chicks as Americaunas but EEs are actually a hybrid. My TSC had "Americaunas" and Isa Browns all in one thing and the Isa Browns were similar looking chicks to what you have. EEs will be chipmunked and kinda have a little fluff around the collar.
These chicks were sold to me as Americaunas but are actually EEs. What you have def doesnt look like an EE or an Americauna.

The ones I just bought look like you second one and was sold as Americans also..
 
Can’t say I’m surprised they are selling chicks under the wrong breed. I guess I should have found a local seller instead of going to TSC. I asked a dozen times if they were 100% sure of the breed in store. These chicks are very sweet so far. The red one that is suspected of being a Rhode Island Red is a bit more sassy, though. The red one definitely seems to run the show from what I can tell. The little feathers on the Salmon Faverolle feet are pretty cute.
You all are such help. I would have never gave it a second thought until they started popping out brown eggs when I was expecting blue

Easter Eggers. But I knew that when I bought them. Easter Eggers are so friendly and come in so many wonderful colors and shades. Also you can get blue, pink or green eggs from them!
 
I definitely will educate myself before buying more chicks. You live and you learn I guess. I would like a few more chicks but I don’t think I’ll go through tractor supply anymore unless I am 100% positive I can identify breeds. I’m just relieved their more than likely female, when I read they could all be male my heart sank knowing there’s no way I could keep any of them. I actually think they had Easter eggers in the container with the kind I bought. I think those were the ones they labeled americaunas and the worker got them mixed up thinking the ones I have were them.

My first time I bought the wrong chicks bc I was also misled but I didnt hesitate to sell them and then get what I really wanted. Return them or sell them and then find out what you really want and go for it. You're not stuck with what you got. ❤❤
