Meyer Hatchery Cochin

[Hootrvil]

Can someone verify that the bird in the front left is a roo? I ordered 3 ladies and I think I got two roos. The one in the back (not the barred mix) is one of the others. I thought Meyer had a guarantee on their birds as far as sexing them. Thanks!

I see one pullet in this picture. It's the lightest coloured bird, next to the mix with the crest. The two birds at the very back of the photo look like cockerels as well. I'm sorry

The light grey one next to the barred one is a pullet. The grey one in front and the barred are cockerels.

First on the left may be hen no cockerel feathers.
Agree barred is cockerel.

Yes, the others are all roos....some I hatched and that was not as surprising but the one I specifically ordered to be a lady is not....nor is his brother.....that's surprising.

The entire flock is 35 strong with about 10-12 known roos. just so disappointed that the cochins are roos, too.

Well, only one of the grey ones is.

They are great about refunds, unless you choose auto sexing breeds only there is always a risk th hat one gets sexed incorrectly.
