yeah. but they're well ventilated and healthy, as u see their combs are bright red. and they're stacked in a way that they don't

poop on each other but... it lacks space. only the brown layers are free range. i dunno why.

I would not count on 'accidental' pullets in a cockerel order. Strange coincidence, but it just doesn't happen as frequently as cockerels in a pullet order.

 

[jeetthemeet]

mistakes happen a lot with hatcheries. It is hard to tell at a young age.

Yep up to a 10 % incidence of cockerels in pullet orders. You will NEVER get 10 % pullets in a cockerel order.

If you want _any_ pullets you need to order pullets.

Leghorns are NOT a good meat chicken breed.

If you want to eat them you should order a larger breed than Leghorns.

I'm sure the pet dog or cat would be happy with Leghorn Lunch of course....

If you don't want to eat them you shouldn't order multiple cockerels.

hi to all of you! good news. leghorn pullets are coming soon!

i begged for them in a layer farm and gave me two because the owner is a friend of my uncle.
