Thank you all so much for replying. I thought so. They're refusing to admit its a cockerel, apparently there is no indication its male.

Hello, I recently posted here not long ago about a gold top I purchased as guaranteed female. She turned out to be a he, and unfortunately had to replace him with another as I am not allowed to keep cockerels. He was swapped for an exchequer leghorn, similar age, and he/she is roughly 8 weeks...

So I got a response saying "Hi, Sorry, Yes I think that does look like a boy, just bring him back we'll swap him". I've asked what will happen to him if I do send him back and getting no response. Will he be killed? Because if so, I'd rather try rehome him on a local farm if that is a possibility.

Thank you both for replying. I have to say I'll be devastated if its male, as we won't be able to keep it and he/she is my favourite. Such a beautiful bird and so friendly. Im in the UK so a gold top could possibly be something else in the US? Ill post a picture

Hi there, First time posting, and first time owning chickens. We recently acquired 4 chicks at 1 day old from a local chicken farm, and I was sold a gold top chick. However, as she is growing, I don't think she is and I'm also concerned she is a he. Is there anyone who would be able to help out...
