Duped by tractor supply?

So, I was told these 2 saphire gems and 2 PBR are all hens not roos? I'm not so sure.... opinions?

Ya you have a cockerel in there but honestly with 1 out of 4 you've done better then many this year with TSC.
And super bonus it looks like they're the correct breed.

That BR looks like a cockerel to me. It’s not really TSC’s fault (although I am probably the first to jump on that wagon usually). They order sexed chicks and sometimes they get cockerels by accident. They have no way of knowing that with day old chicks. Same thing happens to people who order chicks directly from hatcheries.

I am not at all unhappy about if he's a rooster. We did 10 total and so far we think she's the only he (which I said when we bought them but everyone disagreed lol) and we were looking to add one roo. So, not an unhappy surprise, just wanting to be sure!

One out of four isn't bad.

It happens. Your rate was better than mine. 50% of the pullets I got from TAC turned out to be cockerels (but I only got 2 lol).

They refuse to do less than 6 where I am at.

4 early in the season. 5 at the end. The last 2 we got because they remembered in the past 3 months we had bought 8
