Please help me sexing these 8 week olds.

I was thinking the same...he should know better.
Time will tell if he swaps 'em out(correctly this time) or not.

He was recommended by a good friend and we visited his farm, he has 500 breeding chickens. I’m very disappointed, i love all my chickens but now I have to try and rehome all the Roos which is all of them but one lol

I'm really curious, what breeds did he tell you he was selling?

We didn’t ask for certain breeds and he said he only had a handful of 8 weeks olds so he picked those 5 out before we got to his farm. He just said the ones we got are mixes.

He won't swap them out...or at least take them back?!

He said he would, but I know he would just eat them. So I would like to try and rehome them myself even though I know as soon as I rehome them they are not mine anymore and I have no control over what they do to the Roos.

I’ve just had a similar experience I was given a Drake and 3 ducks, by the time I knew he was humping my ducks! But breeder said he’d give us a free female to compensate, hubby collected her when I saw her later that day I couldn’t believe it, she had really bad wet wing!

Ugh! That’s terrible!! I’m still hoping the breeder just made a (several) mistake or they are all hens just developing like Roos lol
