Another rooster?

Why? He's a cockerel. He has male specific plumage. If you were guaranteed pullets, take him back.

I will, they have taken my roosters back so far but each time seems to be a “if it’s not crowing then it might still be a hen”. Also don’t want to leave my only hen by itself while I look into rescue chickens instead of more pullets.

Wyandottes can be super tricky, and male specific feathering doesn't typically come in until around 12ish weeks. So if they're guaranteeing 9 week old Wyandotte pullets, they're bound to only be 50% accurate.

Good to know thanks!

If you go back to your breeder, you can take pics of any “pullets” you want to bring home…make a thread and within a few minutes someone should be able to tell you what it is, if you have a choice from the breeder & want to save the time of traveling back and forth, or expense of feeding the Cockerels for a few days!

Do roosters eat more?
