What do you think about this one? Honestly on the fence about whether or not this one is a hen/rooster, it’s not as aggressive as the other two.

Cockerel nice looking one too

That breed you have is a dual purpose bird, so the rooster can pack on a decent amount of breast / leg meat.

Definitely take them back or raise them to get butchered.

The person we got them from said we could bring them back if they were roosters, thankfully. It just sucks because 1 of the 4 new chickens we got is a very small hen, and I’m worried our other four hens will bully her. :/

The person my mom bought them from keeps saying they’re hens, but I personally think they’re roosters. I wanted some second opinions haha. Thank you!

Outrageous! They both have saddle and hackle feathers with huge combs and feet. The seller is not being honest.

It’s a shame, but we can’t have roosters in our area So I was hoping they were hens. They are gorgeous though, but I have a feeling our neighbors won’t agree. Lol.

If you can keep them well fed, the bullying will subside, even with different sizes in the group.

Our neighbors are all elderly so we got lucky. Ended up rehoming them anyway because one bit my four year old, not intentionally but it scared me because he was huge.

They’re a cross breed with some sort of “meat bird” as they called it so they are naturally quite big. The seller said they would take them back if they were roosters, though! The person is my mom’s friend, so they aren’t trying to lie to us or anything. Some of their hens are pretty huge!

They look to be Bielefelder breed from Germany. The 1st one looks true but the 2nd one looks mixed.

The seller has a lot of different roosters and let us know that they didn’t know for sure what breed some of em were.
