Called TS and they are all out of chicks!
Said they "had to sell them all a few days ago".
Hmmmm...will be curious to see if the towers still stand, or they're back to troughs.
Said more are coming in tomorrow morning, and they have no clue what kinds.
Might have to take a drive and see, want some EE.
Local mill has a few Lt. Brahma, 6 days old.
Decisions, decisions.

Spoilt for choice, I see ...

They'd need to be vent sexed, no?
This is a small time 'breeder' not a hatchery.
Most 'fancy' breeds are sold straight run around here.

I have never vent sexed mine and have been right about their sex but two times (BCM).

[LaFleche]

Sadly, you are too far away, or I would have given you some of mine.

At one day old?

These picture are from previous years. At the moment I am waiting for a broody or two to start my incubator.

Yes.

Will post pics of mine and you can sex them.
