Whoo! Just found out if I changed my sexed birds to st. Runs, I can get them 3 months earlier, closer to when I'm getting most of the packages!!

Yeah,but it means I'll have birds out of the house sooner too. Theyll be out by mid may instead of mid julyBut good things come to those who wait!![]()
But you also then have the chance of getting all cockerels.Yeah,but it means I'll have birds out of the house sooner too. Theyll be out by mid may instead of mid july
I'm willing to take that. Plan is to process males I can't sell anyways and who doesn't love crowing? (Plus the standards I'm getting I either need males more than females or can find eggs on EBay rather easily)But you also then have the chance of getting all cockerels.
This hatchery I trust for straight run anyways. I had 3 bantam varieties I got last year and ended up with more females than males (about 60-40, but still)I’ll likely never buy straight run again, unless it’s for my OEGBs, which I can never find sexed. Last time I bought straight run I got 12 cockerels.
I saw those on Wish for like 60$
