Another year full of cockerels....

[NanaKat]

My hatches this year have been near 50/50 using styrafoam Hovabator incubators, a cabinet incubator and under broody hens.
A friend gave me "pullet dust" to try in the nest boxes.



It was really sulphur dust for bugs.

It is the luck of the hatch

Out of over thirty chicks, I’ve only hatched three boys out of my incubator, so that might be a factor.

Please ship pullet dust! We could most of us use some... lol

I'm just going to vent here for a bit if that's okay. Nearly every hatch I've had this year has been mostly cockerels. I had 6 hatch in March, 1 was a pullet. I had another hatch of 6 in June, and 1 appears to be a pullet. What am I doing wrong??? Shouldn't it be a 50/50 ratio at least? I have very bad chicken karma.

You probably ate all the females while they were still eggs.

Based on scientific study done by chickenmadscientist.com Higher incubator temps equals more Roosters. Lower temps equal more pullets. See problem solved!!!
Well not really I kinda just made that up but it sounded good while typing.

Makes sense to me, since it's a proven fact that 98.97% of all statistics are made up on the spot!

But that's okay, too, since 5 out of 4 people have trouble with Math!

Well I need to rant too. One pullet out of 13 chicks
