Just bought 20 barred rocks from the local feed store. They said they were 90% sexed. I'm brand new to chickens and I'm wondering what they may have meant by that. The chicks are two to three weeks old and most of them are looking like they fall into the fifty fifty category. Some should be hens eventually if the dark legs are what you've said but most look like males. So do the darker bands mean hen as well or is that just a possibility?
