Hi,
I need some help, this is Coco our BR, Coco is 5weeks old but we see that it is not exactly the same as our other BR, it seems that is lighter in color than the others and his pattern more noticeable, also the comb is bigger and with more reddish color, the feet seem to be black, we ask the hatchery for girls, any thoughts, do you guys think it is a pullet?

Hmmm...sorry, I think that you have a little cockerel. As vent sexing only has a 90% accuracy, you can get an accidental cockerel. If you contact the hatchery, some give you a refund.

I guess I didn't want to accept it we can have roosters

BRs are a double purpose breed, so they get heavy enough to cull and eat if that is an option. You could also see about rehoming, selling on craigslist (but beware, he'll probably become dinner) or seeing if any soup kitchens want him for meat. Some do that occasionally.

Well hopefully you can rehome little Coco to someone who can have him! You’ll always have a minimum 1 in 10 chance of getting a boy with vent sexed pullets

And what do you think about this one, Blue, we were told she is a Blue Barred Rock, but then I saw other post saying that BBR has yellow beak and ours is black. She is so cute on my eyes anyways, it looks like a baby pinguin for me.
