Hi traacyken, where abouts are you? perhaps one of us lives fairly close to you.

Hi,
After reading how you bought them I would say 100% boys, sorry you have been done.
Hope you find someone who lives near to you to help you out.

I'm too far away (opposite side of the country and down a lot), so hope someone nearer may be able to look and advise.

A friend of mine has welsummers,( getting a couple of chicks) and she has some around 6 weeks old, I could tell very clearly which were boys even at that age...

[traacyken]

Good luck xx

Good luck with the phone call, can't hurt to ask.

The ducklings I got last year all turned out to be boys but the breeder had said he wasn't sure they were girls and I could bring them back if they were drakes. By the time I knew they were drakes 8 weeks later I was too attached and so the saga of Patrick the Superduck began. Know it's not the same with chickens with all the crowing, sorry.

just phoned him and he pretended he couldnt hear me!and hung up then phone went to awnserphone send him a message and told him he either could give me my money back or i will take it further. spitting mad! still now awnser. god knows what im going to do with them now, im getting on to the site that he got in touch with me with. what a cowardl evil devil this man is

[Kate and her Ducks]

Certainly worth feeding back to the site you got his details from.  A reputable site wouldn't want a disreputable breeder on their site as it would reflect badly on them.

[traacyken]

just emailed them now, told them what happened and that ive still got his message. will still leave me in the lurch with them but at least i will have reported him god knows what i will do with them

Hi,
You could advertise in the same place ' Cockerels free to good home, due to being conned in to believing they where hens' and choose some suitable wording to describe who you got them from.

Tracy, Im in Burnley, we have a lot of chicken keepers on my site so can ask about if anyone possibly wants to buy a cock (if thats OK Aunty?) I will be going on Sunday,so can put a notice on the board if you like?
