Sexing chicks?

[Chicken-lovebirdchihuahua]

Im hatching eggs for a friend but how can you sex them because he will kill the roosters and I don't want that I haven't ordered any eggs yet though

Sex link or auto sexing chicks are the only easy way of telling gender at hatch. Unless you’re an expert at vent sexing. What’s wrong with killing cockerels? I’m assuming he would probably eat them right?

Thanks so much for the advice​

Don't hatch unless you are able to deal with the cockerels.

I can I have dealt with very very aggressive roosters

 

[AlleysChicks]

Aggressive roosters are different than cute fluffy chicks. About 50% of the chicks you hatch will be cockerels.

If you haven’t ordered eggs yet why not just order pullet chicks so you won’t have to deal with cockerels?

Good idea

As stated, I suggest getting sex-links. They're easy to tell apart, I've heard they're docile, and although you can't tell gender in the egg you can once they're hatched. Best wishes.
