Cinnamon queen (or king)?

[QChickieMama]

These were sold as Cinnamon Queen pullets but I’ve been burned before and now I’m wondering if these are girls or not.

Those are Rhode island reds. At least 2 of them are males.

RIRs are similar as chicks, but they aren't sexlinked and are darker as adults. Some males in there.

Where are you buying chicks at?

Tractor Supply. What on earth????? I was so excited. They also sold me 5 meat birds as pullets. I’m so so disappointed.

Ugh. And now it’s too late in the season to fix this. Darn.

Tractor supply does this stuff a lot. I got 3 males in my all female flock. So i feel ya.

Agreeing with RIR diagnosis. BUT before you get on TSC’s case, they come presorted by the hatchery they get their supplies from. Once they know they’re going to the stores, they don’t try as hard since it’s not the hatchery’s problem. But on the bright side, RIRs are great layers and the roosters are quite gorgeous. Stinks about wrong breed ID. I had the same thing happen. I bought a SLW and got an Austrolorp.

Fix them? Do vets do that?

I’m pretty sure they weren’t talking about neutering the roosters.
