Just wanted to let all know that this spring in an attempt to get some new blood into my Americana flock I (sadly) ordered ten birds from My Pet Chicken. I ordered nine hens and one rooster.(Americanas). What I got was five roosters....one a white leg horn and four other boys they say are Americanas however knowing what they look like am suspect of these four boys. I did get four actual Americana females that are pretty and are obviously Americanas. When I complained they said that Americanas are mixed, which I knew, but these look nothing like any Americanas i have ever seen So now I am stuck without Americanas and birds I need to get rid of. Only do business them if you are willing to be stuck!!!! Oh any one want three roosters???

I don't order from hatcheries. There are so many breeders around I go straight to them. Although one of the show winners last year got theirs from a hatchery.
Roosters are hard to re-home. They aren't in a big demand. Try putting them on Craigslist.

id definatly file a report to Better Buisness... they say their sexing is 90% so that alone is worth pointing out to them... plus even though the americana is a "mixed breed" (aka easter egger) they have a standard look about them, if your sure they are not EE's then id be adamant about refund on all them males and tell them you will be filing a complaint with the BBB if they dont make this right.

I have had friends do business with them with good success. Did you contact them and see if they would make it right?
