So true I was worried. I got ducks for eggs they said 75% hens. We got mostly males. But I have a hunter neighbor who thought eating fresh meat was awesome so I let him take them for free and I have a nice quiet small flock of hens.
Do you have a Rural King or Tractor Supply nearby? They sell sexed chicks - chickens, ducks, turkeys, guineas at Rural King.
I bought them online from Metzer. Got 18 unsexed layers. A year later we have 6 hens, 9 boys, 3 died because of dogs or more natural causes.
Slaughterhouses exist for that type of service if you need it.
Yep but they tend to charge and give you the meat. I didn't really want to eat them just let them go away.
