When can you sex Barred Rocks?

[RAREROO]

Sorry, But yes, they are all definitely roos.

 

[wordgirl]

I'm really sorry, but all pictured look like roos.

 

[solarquail]

yea definetly all roos.

 

[PotterWatch]

Who did you buy them from? Seems to me the person who sold to you should have known they were roos...

 

[speckledhen]

Someone pawned off their roosters on you. I can tell at hatch which are male and which are female with about 95% accuracy just by the difference in coloring, so that person knew he was selling you roosters.

Sorry But Those Are Roos

Greeeat. Well, I'll be trying to give them away via craigslist and if I can't re-home them they'll be going into the freezer.
I'll see if the local ag store has any barred rock hens left. I just hate starting this whole process over, given the quarantine period and all.
SIGH!!!!

I agree - by 17 weeks, I can't see how a chicken breeder/owner would not know the difference. He/she just wanted to get rid of their roos and found an unsuspecting buyer
