Last summer, one of the owners at Mt. Healthy appeared on the Chicken Whisperer radio show. He said that Mt. Healthy was one of a very few hatcheries that still vent sex most of their breeds. He also said that if they switched to feather sexing, they would have to purchase breeders from outside hatchers and mixing breeding lines was not an option. He went on to say that they did not want to lose any of their quality breeding lines because they had worked on them for many years.
