Sicilian Buttercups 8 weeks

[pastrymama]

These Sicilian Buttercups came from McMurrary SEXED as pullets, but they have red combs that grew at 4 weeks and they just don't look like any picture of Buttercups that I have seen. They are soooooo orange, they have solid orange feathers coming in when they should be spotted....did I get two roos??????

I know nothing about this breed, but I looked them up. The coloring to me looks like the pullets I saw pictured. And again, I really don't know anything about them. Pretty tho...

I have a 4 week old SB from Privett hatchery??, just a thought of a comb. Mine has that striped feathers too, maybe they get spotted later.

Those are roosters for sure. The roosters are orange like that. You need to call the hatchery and let them know of their mistake.
