Okay, so by my pics I posted, I can pretty much get rid of the lighter ones as Cockerels, and not be worried I'm keeping them as pulletts?:/

10 weeks, PLEASE SAY PULLET! Only if it is..lol

All of this is making my head implode..lol. This is bugging me. Everyone seems to have a different ways of doing the same thing and I think that's awesome, but it needs to come down to the same means. I feather sexed these at fluff and found 3 cockerels. In my learning, mind you I had no idea of...

It spell checked cookbook...lol. Cookoos

I was afraid of that. We were hoping for a cookbook or two. We were wracking both brains to remember and we thought he said those too...oh well, we like the eggs from Rocks too. We have 6 of them now. Thank you for your reply

HELP! We had a broody hen, so we got her some fertile eggs. I can't remember for the life of me what he said I may get! Here's what we have. I know we have a White Leghorn, I'm pretty sure. The rest, I'm lost on. I don't want to say as not to influence comments.

Hello, I'm having the same issue now. I'm hoping moving them will not make Ms. Mean Butt not lose the motherly touch, she is the matriarch. They are due to start hatch today, but I don't see anything yet. Since she is that way, will it be safe to move her to a floor nest?

I'm sure they have loyal clients, but it seems to me to be more negative than positive conversation except what Poultry Hollow posted. There's only a handful of people in here that have an opinion about it, and my mind was made up from it. This is also not the first time I've read negative for...

That makes up my mind, it's a no for me. I'll go to Maryville. Not a hatchery but have nice birds. Kenleigh Farms

I had just contacted Poultry hollow about getting birds in March. Reading all of this makes me think otherwise. There some pretty harsh accusations here also. I don't really know what to think, but based on the comments, I have some thinking to do as I have a 7 year old that would be devastated...

I thought Araucana myself

LOL, bummer. I'm in Knoxville and just let go of 2 Maran hens in trade for 4 Rocks

Bottom right two are roos. We got rid of the Maran on the left We thought we had the sexes right also, we ended up having these guys. It wasn't bad, 2 out of 14...LOL. Sexing by feathers is my easiest way. A hen will usually have wing tip feathers when hatched that look like little feather...
