Oftentimes, places selling chicks will order only females though, since that's what people really want! They do sometimes order straight run (which is both males and females, unsexed) but that is usually with fancier chickens (polish & other crested breeds), bantams (can't be sexed), and meat birds. Hopefully they just had the wrong sign out :) https://www.blogger.com/profile/05462093900030493740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355479107917555885.post-47393130638491675242015-03-11T23:11:01.568-04:002015-03-11T23:11:01.568-04:00When we were picking out our chicks at our local f...When we were picking out our chicks at our local farm store a week ago, I was SO confused about each of these terms! The sign said unsexed male and female pullets... I asked the guy working what the sign meant by unsexed or sexed male and female pullets. He never gave me an answer because he was confused... but I told him I only wanted female chicks for eggs and he said they all were females. Any clue why the sign said unsexed male/female pullets? I brought home 7 cute chicks... various breeds because we are ready to learn everything there is to know about chickens! (lol) I hope we don't accidentally have a rooster because I'm not ready for one of those! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947287064200874571noreply@blogger.com
