I ordered from a small, local breeder that stated she had high success/proportion of pullets for her straight run chicks. But we thought we were being more realistic to hope for a 50/50 ratio. So we bought 8 chicks of two breeds.
Instead, I got 3 roos out of 4 Salmon Favorelles, and 4/4 roosters in the Blue Ameraucanas.
7/8 roosters. They cost more than hatchery chicks bought at a local store, and then there was the time to raise them and eventually try to rehome them. We only had luck getting rid of a few of them, had to take the rest to an auction. We aren't going to go through that again.
