Did a few Roos sneek into my order???

All hatchery sexed females ( minus one "surprise" chick but the 3 in question were in my original order.) It seems the wyandotte chicks are all getting more pink in thier combs but these two are more pronounced. I believe the black chick is an Andalusian, just the biggest comb of the bunch. They are all just about 8 weeks old.

Could you send pictures of he rest of them for comparison?

What age are they? The red combs and wattles look like males.
Edited to add on my last chick order I received a lighter bluish Andalusian male chick as the free surprise. He was very aggressive very early on.

At 8 weeks old, those all look like cockerels. That's pretty crazy odds for hatchery sexed pullets. What hatchery did you use?

 

[Rhodebar Lover]

All are cockerels

Those were at least the sex you ordered haha. Just got a couple extra. Was your order a small order?

We ordered 25 hens and one roo so I suppose it was pretty big. Last yr we had a momma go broody and gave her six eggs and you won't believe it but 5 of them that hatched were male!

I've found this technique works really well
