We are converting our boys’ wooden playhouse into our first coop. Lots to learn and research! We have a new TSC in town and plan to possibly get chicks there. We only want hens (can’t have a rooster) and they told me I’d have to get pullets. She said they’d still be young, but I’m not sure if that means we skip the brooder stage? Looking forward to gathering info and support here. Thank you :)
 
With respect, your odds of finding actual "pullets" right now will be very hard. You are more than likely going to have to start with chicks- which is perfectly fine (and better for some reasons as well). You can absolutely get sexed chicks- they will simply say "female". Don't buy "straight run" as that is a mix of boys and girls. Also- don't fret getting a cockerel by accident, they can be given away / sold on craigslist very easily.

Enjoy the coop conversion! You've come to the right place for help!
