Not sure what your story with roos is but here is mine, if it makes you feel better:
last year, my first time delving into the chicken world, I purchased 9 chicks, from the pullet pen...ALL were roos! I re-homed them all and am
starting over...purchased 10 from a feed store, a different one! and so far they are all pullets, but I wanted some EE's, so a local woman
said she had some, but straight run, ok, no biggee, $2 each, ALL 3 are roos...one I could have sworn was a pullet
no...a rooster, so now, TODAY I am going to a feed store and getting 3 more, all supposed to be pullets again...
(still a different one than the 1st store) and have also decided to keep 2 of the above roos to keep the girls in line.

We will see if I am any luckier this time, maybe I am not supposed to have EEs?

At least I'm not alone!! So far, I've bought (as pullets) 5 chickens, three roosters. If they were straight run, I'd understand but all were sold as female, so I'm little more "cranky".

Maybe you should try to get a roo..... if you really want a roo you'll only get hens!
