    I have a 24 week blue andalusian hen who is a roamer at heart.

    A humane way to handle male chicks?

    I am new to raising chickens and to BYC, though I've been studying up on both for months. I just received my shipment of 7 day-old pullets from Ideal Poultry, and though I specifically and repeatedly requested "no males for warmth", I ended up with EIGHT male chicks. Thankfully, all 15 chicks...
