I want to raise for eggs and meat. My other thing was minimums to order I want to keep 6-8 laying hens and have some meat birds on the side I also want a variety of types so I figured if I go a straight run of 10 I might get the number of laying hens I'm looking for. And also get some meat...
Ok so I ordered a straight run of chicks. 5 Easter egged and 5 assorted brown layers. This may be a silly question but as they grow how will I tell which is a roo and which is a hen. Based on looks? Or crow. And how soon will I be able to tell? May seem like a silly question but wasn't covered...
