    chicks received in "surplus" order

    you know how most hatcheries have a special discounted price for what they usually call surplus or leftover chicks? i've never ordered a batch, because i figured that's how the hatchery unloads its male leghorn chicks. some hatchery catalogues even state there will be mostly males in the...
