pullets

Man, well at least they will be easier to re home rather than me ordering pullets and getting all cockerels.

Pullets.

So weird they would make such a big mistake and give you all pullets. Usually it’s all cockerels when it’s supposed to be pullets ha but I guess maybe they figure most people order pullets??? So just made a mistake putting pullets in the box since that’s what the majority of people order and they’re so used to that/almost automatic?? But they should pay better attention and give people what they order. But it could also just be somewhat hard to sex them and/or a new person and an honest mistake. Either way I think it was honest, not intentional, but still.

I’m not mad or think they are a bad company. I like Ideal Poultry. I just think it’s funny

That’s good!! And yeah, I don’t think I’d be mad either, I know my post kind of seemed liek it a bit, but I do think it is funny. I think most people just order pullets and they’re so used to it they probably just grabbed pullets ha

Update 7 weeks
This is the “somewhat” lighter one. Not sure because it looks like the wattles are coming in.

Probably not a cockerel though, right? I was looking through my photos and I have a picture of one of my pullets at that age and she had little pinkish/ red wattles starting too... Any comments on the comb, as far as the quality? I am considering keeping it because it has a spike rather than a blade.

#3 looks like a cockerel... Not sure on the other two. Speaking of, #1 looks like a barred rock, not a Dominique. #1 has a single comb, which a Dom should have a rose comb. I can't tell what #2 has.

Agreed

100% Not a cockrel i'm sure now.
