Where can I order???

[rmh0508]

Where can I order sexed Bantam and other odd breeds that are sexed. Every place I have checked only offer straight run. I have checked out my pet chicken but I would rather not have to sell a kidney to get 10 sexed chicks:/
Any other suggestions? Thank you

my pet chicken and meyers are in essence the same thing I have been told...and meyers is cheaper...check with them?

my bad...just checked their website. looks like they are only straight run...MPC is the only hatchery I know of that sells sexed bantams

sorry

MPC has sexed bantams

MPC is way to expensive at $10 each for a silkie chick, I want about 20 so $200 no way. ANyother suggestions????

...I think they kinda have the market on sexed bantams at the moment

Yep I'm pretty sure no other hatcheries sell sexed bantams. You can't expect them to really, what would they do with all the extra roos since they would be too small to sell as assorted roos for meat like they do with large fowl ?

Doesn't the vast majority of hatchery roos end up in the grinder anyway?

Because bantams are smaller, I imagine they are that much more difficult to sex.

Besides MPC, I haven't seen a hatchery that offers sexed bantams. You'd have to order roughly 2x as many chicks as you want to keep and either sell or cull the extra males.
