OK. So, after buying 4 chicks from the bin marked "pullets" and getting roosters, finding them new homes, and then buying 3 supposed young "sex-linked" pullets from someone only to have them turn into roosters, I'm at the point where I want to buy full-grown pullets so I KNOW they are pullets and not roos.
I'm going to this auction: http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article93447082.html
How do I tell by looking at a pen of chickens how old they are? I'm concerned I will buy old maid hens that don't lay.
(PS: I wasn't sure where to post this. There wasn't an "age" forum, so this seemed like the correct one. Move this if needed...)
