Pullets or Roos?

[catschicks16]

So I got 6 chick's April 25th, they were all supposed to be pullets. We had one die yesterday and we have no idea why. It looked just like the other 2 darker ones. I guess my question is do I have roos or pullets?

Welcome to BYC!

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

As far as determining gender, posting pics of your birds once they are about 5 or more weeks old, will help us sex them.

I'm having issues with posting the picture

I'm sorry to say this but you have at least two cockerels there.

Where did you buy them from? It's very rare to buy sexed chicks and have more than one of them turn out to be a cockerel.

I got them at our local Tractor Supply store. They were advertised as "pullets" even cost more. Do you think they are all barred rock?

How interesting...

Yes, they look to all be barred rocks.

Thank you. I also have 4 buff orpingtons and 2 sex links. They are all supposed to be pullets but they are only 2 and 3 weeks old. I got them at a different place.

I need help sexing these boogers! They were suppose to be all lovely ladies but I suspect I have a sneaky roo in there.
