Are they all roosters? Another life lesson

[Tonyroo]

Even as I write this I’m pretty sure I already know the answer but I’d like to have faith in the human race.....
So about 6 weeks ago, I answered an ad to purchase a small flock of young hens from someone in my local district. I paid a good amount of money for them and picked them up at her home address (or at least I think it was her home!).
Being new to chickens, I took it on good faith that I was getting hens and the chickens were mixed breeds (3 buff orpingtons, 2 barnevelders and 1 cross breed) and ages from 18 weeks to 7 weeks. But after a lack of eggs and some clear crowing I am now wondering if any of the chickens I purchased are actually hens? We wanted the chickens for eggs, and for the joy of raising them, however our council prohibits keeping of roosters without a permit (which the person who sold me the expensive roosters would have known).
Clearly I’ve been taken for a ride (buyer beware), but will I have to give them all away?View attachment 2609402View attachment 2609403View attachment 2609404View attachment 2609405

There all roosters.

Seriously it's people like that makes chicken keeping an awful experience for new chicken enthusiasts. Cheating people is wrong even if you think you got away with it.

I hate to say it but if someone did that to me they be getting a pile of dog poop on there door. Lol

If you can, I would post an ad in the same place you saw the original seller and warn others about them. It will at least make sure other buyers are cautious.
