Supposed to be bantam pullet assortment...

[Stuckinlove]

Got these a few months ago as a set of assorted bantam pullets, but now I'm thinking they are possibly males. Some of the tails seem to be curling down so I don't know now. What do you think?

Three are questionable so far:
Black bird with black band
Black bird with pink band
Red bird with green band

Not questionable at all, they're all definitely cockerels.

Cockerels.

Bantams are always straight run, unless you specifically ordered sexed pullets from MPC.

Yes, the bantam assortment are usually male birds. Bummer.

I got these from someone a town over from me when they were 2 months old. They were my first chicken purchase so I just trusted him.

Hatcheries do not sex bantams, so it's the luck of the draw. Sometimes you get more cockerels, sometimes more pullets.

I thought you got them as chicks, maybe from a feed store that didn't know bantams don't come sexed. Unfortunately the person who sold them to you had to know they were male and lied. How long have you had them?
