    White Leghorn 3 week old chicks...male or female?

    I bought them off craigslist. guy said he sold 100/week, and said he would sell me 5 pullets. They might have been 2-3 days old when I picked them up though, so that could have been my mistake as well. He offered to exchange them. For each rooster he'd give me two chicks, but I don't want to...
