Hello all!
I live in a neighborhood in the city and I absolutely CANNOT have roosters. I am hoping to buy some chicks at the feed store tomorrow, but am slightly disappointed that I am limited to only 2 breeds; red and black stars (I don't have a problem with these breeds, I just wish I had more variety to choose from). So I was wondering, are there any sex-linked breeds other than these two? And is there and concrete way to be sure that a chick is a hen versus a rooster? Are there any breeds that may not be sex-linked but males are distinguishable somehow from the females?
Thank you for your help,
