We used the feathers on the wing method, and it worked perfectly for us. We could definitely see the difference between the roos and hens. Or biggest thing was getting them to let us only purchase one, it took some convincing.
I did the feather sexing on my buffs lol, watched this guy at a factory on a you tube video over and over before I left the house.

By the time I got to my little hardware store I had worked myself into a sweat, worried that people were gonna look at me weird. Judge me.
It turned out they were just unloading the boxes and there wasn’t a soul there but me and an old farmer man. He wasn’t buying. He was just standing there smiling.
I asked the girls for help but none of the three of them knew a thing about chickens! And the boss wasn’t even there yet.
They thought the chicks weren’t actually arriving until the next day!
Here I am with my reading glasses on crying happy tears with my phone to my ear to get the last and final okay from the hubster and
The best part and funniest part about the whole experience was the old man said to me as I was heading for the register,
“There you go young lady,
You can tell YOU grew up on a farm, picking out those little bitty pullets !”


NOT!
Maybe I just got lucky but it was one of the most delightful days of my life.
Honestly.
