What breed are the two blond chicks from MPC?

Can anyone please help id these chickens. My neighbor ordered 2 Australorops, 2 BR, 2 Jersey Giant, and
2BO's from MPC. They came last month and are now over 4 weeks old.

The two blonds, which he thought were BO's, are almost half the size of the others, and have feathers on the feet. They look nothing like my BO's, so he had assumed that the BO's I purchased from a local feed store where not BO's. But after looking at his today, I told him I think he was sent a different breed, and maybe even Bantams.

Bantam buff Brahmas?

ETA: DEFINITELY not BOs!

Thanks everyone for the responses. I told my neighbor and he is going to call MPC to see why this happened.

It happened in my hatchery order, too. (Not from MyPetChicken) I ordered 2 Australorps, and the hatchery substituted 2 Easter Eggers. I guess they had a bad hatch with the Australorps, and just gave me something else to complete my order. Luckily, I wanted EE's, so I wasn't unhappy about it. But I can't imagine why they would substitute a bantam chick for a large fowl chick....


Edit for crazy spelling!
