If you do not want ALOT----You can buy a few every year for YEARS before you can pay for a incubator etc---besides the time and "stress" some go through. Me---I just Like to hatch----so I do not mind spending the extra up front. I don't let it stress me so I am Good.i what your oppion, hatch your own or buy day old?
Excellent advice as always. If you are just looking for a handful of pullets why go through the hassle of incubating? As you found out you may not have any hatch, or like me all could be males. If your son wants EEs, it's easy to order sexed pullets from a hatchery (though 2 of my 6 sexed "pullets" were cockerels).A lot of that's going to depend on your management plan for cockerels. Hatching will give you 50% males on average. Ordering day old sexed birds gives you 10% Oops leeway. If you're going to butcher or otherwise have a market for them, go ahead and hatch. If you're in a no-roo zone, why even start with the headache?
