you ever get the feeling "straight runs" are not really straight runs at all, but rather those chicks that they could not positively identify as pullets?
out of 6 easter eggers (which don't get me started on not getting ameracaunas, as i thought i was buying)(I didn't know, this is the first time i've bought outside the brown egg, RIR, BR breeds) that were "straight run," i've got 1 hen. out of 6 black australorps, i've got 2 hens.
sexing chickens appears to not be an exact science (my brother bought 5 pullets, and there was a rooster, or 83% accuracy), so it's feeling to me like they just take those they are not positive that are pullets, and throw them in the "straight run" bin
