I agree that the one on the right is a cockerel, but I’m just curious how old are they?

. I’m not sure how she sexed them . I should have asked lol . I just said ALL HENS , ONLY GIRLS . Like 20 times repeated that . I got them pretty close to just being hatched . Like the same day or next

She mentioned that she would take a rooster back if she made a mistake . And switch a chicken out . But if I get another breed or close to same age chicken will my other girls accept her ?

That’s pretty much impossible unless you are a vent sexing expert at a hatchery.

And even then they are only about 90% accurate.

When people tell me “only females” I explain the difficulty in sexing and if they want a sure thing then I’ll be glad to hold them 6 weeks, but the price increases the longer I feed them.
