Just that unlucky!

So I hatched 20 chicks on Easter. A bunch of different breeds and crosses. So far I’m convinced I have at least... 3 pullets maybe 4 but everyone else is growing big wattles and combs already at 4 weeks old.
That’s over 75% cockerels. I knew my luck was bad so I filled my incubator as much as I could but can’t help but to be disappointed.

Going to be starting on the second batch in a couple of days.

Anyone else have really bad luck? How do you get pullets out of your hatches?

I've never incubated eggs, so I can't answer your questions unfortunately.

But I feel your pain! I got out of 5 straight runs I got 3 males. Two are idiots.

That's the problem with hatches - you get what you get - no changes. If you want, you need to buy them aka sex links.
