Columbian Wyandotte? Hen or Roo?

My thoughts are that no one should buy chicks from or sourced from Hoover's.
They're single handedly making the hatchery industry look like a circus.
(Too harsh?)

Definitely not too harsh.

It's feathers are light grey and white. I have a Barred Rock from the same company and she is black and white. Thank you so much for trying to help!

Definitely not too harsh.

I never bought from them, but why is Hoover’s not reputable? I did not read the entire thread. Is it cause they ship wrong breeds?

They are mixing everything and producing some horrible quality birds.

Oh by the way you are such a great informer. I see you a lot on breeds/gender threads. You are definitely part of my “experts” category.

also thanks! Now I know not to buy from them...

I see a partial crest. I'd say some kind of EE/OE type of cross.
So hard to say when Hoover's is involved.

Not harsh enough... I used to help with breeds on here years ago and it was so much more simple. Almost everything was APA besides the sexlinks and EEs... Now we have Meyers/Hoovers/My Pet Chicken (among others!!) just creating these weird designer mutts just due to the trends of pretty eggs. It's like the influx of the doodles with dogs I just don't understand the creation of crosses without an ultimate end goal, just bred for one trait
