Thanks everyone...Rhode Island Reds chicks are what we will be getting at ACE. Since I've read and been told that those are the hardiest and great layers-Besides great tasting eggs..We have the coop already but are having difficulty finding young laying hens. So may have to go the chick...
At what age is it possible to determine Male from female ....Ace Hardware is selling pullets as young as a few days old and says they are all female but others have told me NOT to ever believe it when someone tells you that you can determine the sex that early ....So what's the truth???
