Yep! I'd say that the best way to get chicks is definitely hatcheries.

Aw, how old were they when you bought them? Did he say they were all females? If they were over 4 weeks, I would say....you were very much had.

Hello chicken crew!

I have 7 chickens
1 of them so far was declared a rooster by the BYC community. I have attached pictures of my 7 chickens. Can anyone help me sex all 7 (& give me your thoughts on the possible breed) Pictures are decent. I have numbered them 1-7 so you can refer to them. They will be 12 weeks old this Thursday.

Thanks!!

1, 2, 3, 4, & 7 are cockerels.

I love the color on #7.

They were 2 weeks old. I honestly wasn’t clear what I wanted but yea... wish I would’ve known

I don’t remember him saying they were all females ... so no. Nice gentleman, very responsive.... just a bummer. Ultimately my fault.

Well, at 2 weeks you can make an educated guess. You would have less roos from a straight run hatch!
