TSC sell straight run and pullets. There are some places you can order a minimun of 5 like Cackle, Meyer, Randall Burke, however the shipping cost is high. TSC also has a program that you can order some chicks, have them delivered to your home, has more selection of breeds and shipping is...
If you check like 6 treads bellow your posting you'll find the tread named Sex-linked information created by tadkerson. Plenty of very good information. I encourage you to take a look. To make it short one of the table states how to create sex link using a Black Australorp Roo. Any of the...
Most of hatcheries post in their websites they don't export chicks. You might be able to import adult birds or juvenile into Trinidad, however you'll have to find out your country rules into importing birds. This process is normally expensive. Depending on the breed you want, can give a try to...
You got a very good ratio. 1 rooster out of 6 chicks is very good. It supposed to be 50/50. They sell only straight run chicks. Buying straing run is a gamble, you can get more pullets or more roos.

bgNH. I admire your creativity. I'm always looking for new ideas on how to keep the water from freezing during the winter time. It is amazing how this forum provides with so many excellent ideas, even though some might be more suitable for some people than others depending of their...

Sexing chicks is not an exact technique. The rate of accuracy is 90%, so you might order a 100 pullets and get a pullets or you can order 25 pullets and get 2 roosters. You have 90% of probabilities of getting pullets nor 100%. All hatcheries and breeders selling sexed chicks have this...
Welp only raise meat birds. Normally for what I've read here, most people ordering from Welp got their chicks from Privett. Also, in several post many agree that Welp customer service is superb, however Privett hatchery, well they don't have customer service at all. You can call Welp and request...
The parents of a friend of mine have ordered from them for many years and they will be very dissapointed if they closed the hatchery. The birds they got were always good quality for a hatchery. I tried to look for their website, but seems that doesn't exist anymore. Even in off season their...
