Unless the breeds of both parents are known feather sexing will not work.

I learned how the hatcheries feather sex them.

Hatcheries only have certian breeds/hybrids they feather sex not all breeds/mixed can be feather sexed most are vent sexed at the hatcheries and and thats a whole new ball game.
Thats why I put links up so people can read the facts on feather sexing to many people think it can be done with any breed or mix.Unless you know what the mix is or if they where selected/culled for it at the breeders.Feather sexing you could wind up with culled pullets and roos being kept.
