    New & anxious

    We're I'm the process of building a very large coop but Are so anxious to get chicks & there's a swap/sale today at a local tractor supply. We only want 4 (ideally buffs) but I'm suddenly panicked. My fear is that I'll get a rooster. .. is there a way to prevent that with certainty?
