She’s been really pleasant and easy to work with. She’s the one who has picked out the chickens based on trying to grab a pullet, so her guess rate isn’t awesome, but she’s been very helpful and willing to problem-solve.Yep - someone that looks like your little pullet on the right is perfect.
It's ok if the bird is red - but what you want to avoid is a pattern that is broken up by red on the shoulders. So your first bird was grey and then had bright red/rust shoulder. That's generally a male pattern. The comb is secondary - one of my EEs got a bigger redder comb before the other one, but they're both pullets - but the smaller the better, generally.
This lady seems like a good egg, so to speak. Two go arounds for trading in birds means she wants you to be happy. You might let her guide you to the ones she thinks are pullets.
She’s been really great to work with, especially as a relatively new chicken owner.Hahaha well maybe you pick this time instead, then!
Usually it's kind of 'you get what you pick' so the fact that she's worked with you to make sure you get the pullets you wanted likely also speaks to her quality as a chicken owner/breeder. There are lots of stories on here about people getting sold cockerels intentionally, wrong breeds, etc.
Fingers crossed on getting the one you want today!
And yes, I think she’s quite a sweetie!That last one looks like a pullet. I'm a sucker for redheads, too, so she's gorgeous. Did you keep the rooster or trade him in on the pullet?
