New and need help!

That's a shame. Will the seller refund you or take him back?

I've been trying to text her but she's not responding. I really hope she can switch him out for a hen. Next time I'll know better than to just look from the top of the box lol

She may have knowingly given you a cockerel which would be why she's not responding. Unfortunately this happens a lot. It is very hard to get rid of the males, even if they are listed for free. There are just too many roosters and not enough people that can take them.

Hi, good luck with either reaching some resolution with the seller or finding a new home for the boy.

Welcome to BYC.
I hope the seller didn't scam you. Maybe it was a mistake and she will get back in touch.
Hopefully you will be able to find him a new home. Black copper marans are sought after so maybe someone will want to add a rooster their flock.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. If the seller is experienced with poultry, there is no way they could not have known that bird is a cockerel.
