Hello! It seems to be that out of the 5 RIR straight run chicks I got, 4 are most likely male, and possibly even the 5th but still hoping the 5th is a she. They are 5 weeks old. Its my first time with chickens and was hoping the ratio would have turned out to be better. Does anyone have any...
Every Spring, the same thing. The vicious cycle of "Chick Season" begins. Feed Stores everywhere are stocking various breeds of young offspring with dirt cheap prices to help sell their higher value inventory and create a steady stream of new customers shopping within their proprietorship.
And...
Alrighty! this is my story of straight runs and buying locally. this is to help people decide what to do if they are going to go the cheaper route of straight runs or the bit more expensive route getting them sexed.
I don't know about you, but i personally like to get my chickens for eggs...
