Are they all roosters? Another life lesson

[sourland]

I agree that the Orpingtons appear to be of high quality, but all six birds are cockerels.

 

[RosemaryDuck]

Agreed. Looks like all roos. So sorry you got scammed. Don't let it ruin your experience with chickens though!

 

[EmmaRainboe]

I am so sorry. That is horrible. I find it very hard to believe the seller didn’t know. But yes, all are male.

What state do live in? I'm sure someone in your state would love to have one of your roos.

Thank you, although the selling would have known. The fault is mine, I should have sought out someone I knew was reputable. All is not lost, I will rehome them to good homes as they have given us lots of joy over the last few weeks as our pets and taught us much about raising chickens. Sadly just no eggs

They are both cockerels. Those, too, you might be able to sell. I wasn't sure what country you were in, but in the US double laced silver Barnevelders are rare.

 

[Chookchicken]

They are beautiful birds, even if they are cockerels. I’m sorry you got scammed, I hate people who do things like that. But as other people have said don’t let this ruin your passion for chickens.

 

[Cassandra Lana]

If you like them and don’t mind no eggs I would get a permit

I'm really sorry this happened to you.

Me too.

What an ugly person...the person who sold them to you.
I'd go knock on her door if I were you.
