I am getting 12 pullet chicks from Murdochs who get their chicks from McMurray. I really want just 1 rooster! I was thinking about getting maybe 2 straight run chicks in hopes of 1 roo. Are the chances pretty high I'm going to end up with a bunch of roosters?
Thanks!
 
Hatchery vent sexing is about 90% accurate. Some breeds are sexed more accurately than others. Typically, Easter Eggers are more often miss-sexed. If you purchase all sexed pullets, then odds of getting one or two males is about 10%. If you purchased straight run (unsexed) chicks, they could all potentially be male.
