Those of you with OEGB, when do you dub the little roos? How old are they supposed to be?

Also, Privett Hatchery in New Mexico has some decent Doms as far as hatcheries go.

I really want to avoid hatchery stock if possible. Guess I will hold tight until I find what I want. I really want to find chicks around 3-6 weeks old so I can smuggle them in with the other chicks and hubby will be none the wiser, lol. (He does all the feather baby feeding Monday-Thursday but he doesn't bother counting anymore, lol).

everybody dubs at differant times, some say when the sickle feathers come in, others say when you have enough comb to do it, still others wait till it just looks right. i fit in the last catergorie.

Nope with Carl's help I have him schooled very well in chicken math. Well schooled enough for him to realize he can't win 'that' arguement with me so he has given up. He did say no more eggs in the incubator until after June 15th, lol.

Plus he has learned that chicken math is kind of like kid math at our house, if they are still nursing and in cloth diapers they don't count. If we can't take them off our taxes they don't count (ie: all the teen boys that spend the night with the big boys after basketball games).
