    SEXING chickens.

    An elderly neighbor told me that to check to see if a hatch ling was a cockerel or a pullet all you had to do was hold them upside down by the feet and if it pulled it head to it's feet it is a cock. but if it just hung there it was a pullet. so far he's been 98% right on my new birds.

    Cuckoo Marans

    I've been wanting to incubate some CM eggs but I've talked to some folks that have gotten rid of them because of the hatch rate being 75% roo's and only 25% pullets does this ratio hold true to the breed or was it just the luck of the draw with the three hatchings they had done?
