Wow. 80% failure rate is horrible. I'm def switching to a different feed store in general and I'll only buy from people who raise.

If you ever have a chance to get any straight run Barred Rocks, Dominiques or Cuckoo Marans, check out this article with photos and you can sex them yourself. They're all sexable at hatch to about a 90% accuracy rate:

Very cool link. I got to find a good home for the RIR and the Ameracauna. I'm gonna keep the Rock as it hasn't made a sound.
