That’s awesome!Also, to follow up on the value of raising your own meat. I stopped at a high end market today. Their "organic, free range chicken" was $4.69/lb. (Yes, this is California). So, at $1.5 lb for my meaties, I feel like I am killing it.
I don’t know what we’ll do if they turn out to be boys.They do not look like obvious boys to me. I can see your concern, but I would not worry quite yet. If those combs continue to redden and grow in the next two weeks, I would be more worried. Right now, I think they could go either way.


If they are cockerels then I give up trying to hatch anything. I’m almost 110% certain our newest hatchling is also a boy. That would be 5/6 boys, and our only for sure sex-link pullet was a malpo. It’s just frustrating.
