oh poo!!!!!! Looks like you're going to have to get some "ready-made's" doesn't it? Hatching out chicks is a lovely experience (I think, still not got to that stage yet) but .......................................My girls found their way into my heart and now they nest thereComment

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

This sexing seems very difficult. My mums neighbour bought 2 pol from a breeder. Two weeks later they started crowing!
If a breeder can't tell who can?
I really hope your boys turn out to be girls after all.

nope definitely a boy, she was doing strangled goose impressions this morning, i did suspect last week, but the 'crowing' confirms it

Sorry to hear that, Are there any statistics about boys and girls? Humans are 50/50 ish I think but chickens are they 60/40 or something? I rescued four chicks in November and the mother - one hen the rest cockerels! My neighbour had a run of five cockerels to one hen!
Bad luck

I don't know about chickens in this respect, but when I kept goats, I got mostly billy kids, until I owned an adult billy (as opposed to the girls going to visit one elsewhere), then I got loads more nanny kids. My theory is that if there aren't enough males to females in the group, nature somehow adjusts by producing more males, whereas if there are lots of males, nature arranges to have more females arrive. I can work out how this would be possible with goats, but a rather different matter with chooks.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

dunno, but as it stands i think i have 3 of each ..... though you never know what might happen next lolComment
