Nope, not from Ideal. Got them from MyPetChicken. Just confirmed my order was for all females. I spent an extra $12.50 to make it that way. I figured, I'd get one or two, but 6 confirmed thats bad. Did you think the ancona and sussex were hens or roos?

Just to follow-up, the folks at MyPetChicken.com have been great. They are refunding the chicks with crossed beaks as well as the difference between the males and the females. The woman who answered my e-mail really responded in depth with information on dealing with the chicks with the crossed beaks. She also offered to look at pictures of the chickens and assist with sexing them. I give them two thumbs up for customer service.

Further follow-up on the sexing errors and cross-beak issues. MyPetChicken is refunding $10.50 for the errors and deformities. They continue to be very pleasant to deal with.

I agree. The Anconas and Sussex look like hens.

The sussex could be a roo but I don't think so.

I think the ancona is a pullet.

You should know for certain in a few weeks.
