Ok so this greyish cockerel was purchased at Tractor Supply and is not what he was marked as being. So with that said does anyone know what type of chicken this is? I have never had one or seen one like this?
I am saying cockerel because he is already sparring with his feet and has a reddish comb.

Green legs, pea comb, and partially bearded... I vote EE.

If you got him from Tractor Supply... O my Gosh! They always get their breeds mixed up! There is never a time when they don't! If you ever get chicks from there be prepared for a mix up on your chicks!

Well I don't have any experience with Brahma, I just thought it was a cute chick. I had incubated some eggs and had a poor hatch and then had to run out to TSC and get some chicks to raise along side a singleton I hatched. When I looked at pics of what a Brahma was supposed to look like I knew he wasn't that. This cockerel is a little aggressive, I do have a couple EE's and they are such sweet birds, although hens. My main love is Orpingtons.

That happens - especially in places where chicks are often mislabeled or have gotten moved to the wrong bins, etc (it happens a lot in places where the public can access chicks as children are prone to pick them up and then mom/dad tells them to "put that down" and they just put the chick in whatever bin they are standing over at the moment - not usually an issue at TSC given their new "corral" approach to chick days, but I've seen it happen a lot both as a customer and as an associate at a farm store).
