What sex is this little guy?

[blacksambellamy]

So I ordered some female baby chicks and this to me looks like a rooster, but maybe I'm wrong. . I believe he/she is a Delaware breed.

Any help would be appreciated

Young cockerel. Where did you get him from? A lot of hatcheries will give a refund if you specifically ordered females.

Got them at chickens for backyards

161F	Splash *Ameraucana* - Female	1​
140F	Olive Egger™- Female	1​
147F	Barnevelder - Female	1​
125F	Delaware - Female	1​

That was the order

I'd call and ask if they give refunds. How old are the chicks?

A lot of hatcheries will give a refund if you specifically ordered females.

Usually only if you got more than 10% males (or more for certain breeds that have a note about being harder to sex).

Vent sexing is considered to be about 90% accurate. Over a number of orders in different years and from different hatcheries that's been about my average for "oops" roosters.

With that comb and wattles it's a boy.
