OK, so sexing by color

Is it for sure? Because my DH went to get me a male and another female and the guy sold DH what looks to be 2 more females, and well..I'm a little upset. Although I'm hoping their first eggs will be fertile and I can hatch them! LOL The other one not pictured below has feathers missing like she has been bred..so I'm assuming that is the girl. Like I said they all look the same. The one in question doesn't look male at all.
So yeah, the one that we are assuming is what he assumed is the male is smaller, but looks exactly like my female.
Pics below.
The "supposed male"

My female, and I know she is a female because she laid me her first egg yesterday!

both female to me

I looked at mine - my roo has no spots on his chest at all, so I guess 2 girlies.

Yeah, thats what I'm afraid of. I think I will either keep it and go back and pick a male myself since he has no clue..or exchange it. He said I can bring it back for another if I need to.

Definitely two females...you can ask for another female and a male so the male is extra happy

Ayuh. Those are both clearly female and I'm not even all that experienced at sexing. How did the breeder not know?

 

[lswatson111304]

I don't know. He is a little out there, but he is really nice and has cute chicks! LOL
I already had 1 female, DH came home with 2 more. I think I'm just going to go buy a male from him so I'll have 1 male and 3 females. I will pick him myself. LOL

LOL! Well, as long as he takes good care of the birds, I guess it's fine to be a little flaky.
