Those chicks are all boys.
Get out of there!

Probably “pullets” means nothing at feed stores lol

 

[debid]

That’s true!! But thankfully these all look to be in the correct bins in that they all look the same, don’t look like any misplaced/odd ones in any bins. Except maybe the RIR and Amberlink bin which is dumb because Amberlinks are sex links so how do you tell them from the RIR or be sure you are really getting a female??

And yeah the 6 chick minimum is a pain which is part of why I am not getting any. I don’t have any room anyway with the new 5 coming. I just saw the 75% off sign and thought uh oh better run lol



LOL OMG

BTW, don't ever Google "Asian Black chick" no matter how curious you are about their new hybrid flavor of the year. What a terrible name choice!

Although this one does have a cage and lock around it so you’re not allowed to get the chicks yourself so less chance of error I think lol

Hahahaha OMG I bet that is rather traumatizing

Btw I am having a heck of a time deciding on a chick feed lol

And Amberlinks are wing sexed. Both sexes are whitish with mahogany bleeding through when they feather so they'd be the yellow chicks in the bin.

I usually get Flockraiser. The TSC store brand isn't bad either so if it's what's fresh, get it.

Okay thanks. I mostly just don’t know whether to get medicated or not. I think the kind I got last time wasn’t but idk.

Okay thanks. That makes sense. I was thinking they were like other red sex links where the males are white

Oh. I've never bought medicated. It hasn't been necessary as we apparently don't have a huge cocci problem. I know the signs and where to get Corid quickly if I need to.
