| 1. Should I buy pullets or straight run chicks?

Pullets have been sexed by the hatchery and are usually sexed 90%
accurately. Most hatcheries or feed stores will refund your money or buy
back the cockerels which exceed 10%. Straight run chicks are usually less
expensive, but they are 50% pullets and 50% cockerels (more or less).

You should wait until they are fully feathered to put them outside.
Depending on the temperature, they can go outside when they are from 5 to 12
weeks old.
