Our Hens are Roosters?

A few days ago I was outside taking care of the "hens". I heard a cock a doodle doo sound and thought it was the rooster next door. When I heard the noise again I looked toward our "hens" and saw that it was one of ours. I heard it three more times and knew that it had to be a rooster. When Josh got home from his trip he also heard the same noise. We had a neighbor come over last night to confirm and he indeed confirmed that they were all roosters. We were all so disappointed and mad! This company from Iowa guaranteed that they were all girls. All that time wasted preparing these roosters to lay eggs. So what did we do? We bought more chicks and this time at a near by store.
Flashback Friday- Claire last October holding one of our roosters.



This morning Claire holding one of our new chicks. We are looking forward to eggs this summer! This time we will hopefully have three white chickens.

That's too funny, but kind of frustrating too, no doubt. Good luck with the new chicks!

OK, that is a great story!!! So sorry about the "no eggs" part, but it does make a really good story!! Better call the BBB.
