Pullet vs Cockerel 8 weeks

That’s horrible! Did the seller DNA test them?

I believe they were vent-sexed

They may have mixed up what boys and girls look like. For you to get 3 cockerels.

Did they come from a hatchery (or farm store) or from a private seller?

I bought them from TSC. They use hatcheries

Ah. Then that’s just pure bad luck.

I think Elmer is the only cockerel and other two pullets

An update: Elmer has left the coop. His demeanor had become markedly aggressive, and there was no doubt of his gender. Roosters are not allowed in my township, and I simply don't want one.

The overall temperment of the coop has improved. One female instantly became dominant when the male left. And it was neither of the other two I suspected "might" also be male.

I'll get new photos of the two chicks in question, soon. I'm less concerned about their genders than I was, when I first made this post. Their combs have not really grown, and their temperaments, as I stated above, are milder than the newly-dominant pullet. I do hope I'm right.

I was asked to update the photos. Here are the remaining 2 pullets in question. They will be 10 weeks old, tomorrow. I don't see much change in the last 2 weeks

Both look like cockerels to me
