In the Brooder
Hi everyone, I'm keen to hear from breeders on your rooster return policy.
I recently purchased 3 x day-olds from a local breeder, she told me they were all girls. At four weeks I noticed one of them had a bigger redder comb than the other two. I contacted the breeder, she said no it looks fine.
Last week I asked the kind folks on this page their opinion of my now 7 week olds. All said that the suspect chick was indeed cockerel.
The breeder tells me today that the most she'll do is a refund of the cost of the day old.
Is this standard policy ? It seems a bit unfair that I have not got what I paid for, and have to suffer the brunt. I've effectively fed and housed this chick for 7 weeks and whilst the feed would not have broken the bank it is a little frustrating.
