I bought ten straight run day old chicks from a local breeder for $10 each. I wound up with seven cockerels, so I ordered five sexed chicks from Cackle. The price with shipping was about $10 each. I received six, one added for free, but two were cockerels. I got my sexing refund and sold the extra boys at a poultry auction. I would order sexed chicks again, it worked out well for me, and $10 each was reasonable.
