A very important reason for buying sexed chicks.

[MarkButcher]

If your like thousands of us who're raising your backyard flock as a hobby, having a well planned and balanced flock is an essential ingredient to be desired and planned for.. You might very well not be into killing or butchering your extra roosters, like a lot of us, and trust me, getting rid of them otherwise isn't an easy proposition!
Buying sexed chicks give you a almost complete control of your flock composition, and with planning, harmony within your flock. Ending up with to many roosters when you've bought and raised a batch of straight run chicks is going to end up with pandemonium in your flock eventually, and force you to decisions you don't want to make, but must, for the sake of your flock.

When I wrote an "Are Backyard Chickens for You?" article for a local paper I included the thought that finding your cockerels a forever pet home is rarely a realistic plan.
