what does straight run mean?

[paigeandclyde]

Hi, I'm sending email out looking to buy bantam cochins locally, and people keep saying that they are straight run. What exactly does this mean?

that means it's a 50/50 chance for hens or roos

oh so do they not even try and guess?

no, usually Straight run chicks are cheaper than ones that are already sexed.

Most bantams are always sold straight run as they are often to small to safely vent sex.
