Bought a couple of Buff Orpingtons last week that were supposed to be pullets. They're probably six or seven weeks old, and it turns out one of 'em's a cockerel. His pecked-off tail should've been the clue, but there had been a lot of pecking where he used to live so I wasn't sure and neither was the seller. The seller said I could swap him out for a bona fide pullet, but I think I'll keep him and add a pullet instead.
Our good ol' BR rooster died two months ago. He'd been having seizures that got worse and worse until he couldn't even stand up any more. Hope the new guy can protect the girls as well as he did, but he's got some growing to do first.
