I will make sure i keep this thread going just for you!!!

My friend supposely knows how to check the sex of baby chicks with their wings ( i don't know how accurate it is)she is a vet tech but from what she said i gave her all the roosters which turned out to be 4 out of the 6 i gave her. I will also do the same with the next hatchlings too. As far as she knows I am not putting them in my incubator for another few days (i put them in there last night) so that way i will have time to sex them and and pick the ones i want.

I am really not an evil person but when i get used I make sure they get the same in return. Is that bad????

I wouldn't question your ability to be good or saintly. I think you've already done enough for her, personally. People will only take what you are willing to give. If you have issues establishing your own boundaries you can't expect others to be on the lookout for your best interest. If something makes you uncomfortable, don't do it. That's your mind telling you that is a no no. If it's a reasonable discomfort, something you could learn to live with, give it a try if you want to.

If you're ok with this new arrangement of 75% and your pick, then go for it. It sounds like a reasonable arrangement to me if it's saving you money on hatching eggs and they are eggs you would want to hatch. Don't be afraid to say no. People will respect you more for standing up for yourself. Those that don't aren't worth the hassle anyway.

As long as she clearly understands that things can (and often do) go wrong and you're not responsible for hatch rate or fail to hatch, then go for it. After all, power does go out and unexpected things happen.

No , you are NOT an evil person! I'd let your friend do what she can to sex the babies but it is still not an exact science... you still don't "know".

I am glad to see you setting boundries... keep tough with them!

Good luck w/ the hatch!
