You have a couple of cockerels there, nice colors though.

They are gone now, not looking for those particular colors, I need a chocolate cockerel. Just going to keep trying.

How did you get rid of them so fast?

A guy who bought some chicks from the hatch before said he'd love to have them, so off they went

Darn you got lucky.

Darn you got lucky.

Around here is pretty easy to get rid of cockerels, I live in the sticks, so if folks don't use them for breeding they'll eat them

All of my chicks I've sold as unsexed chicks, but I was growing those out (just like my lavenders) to ensure I got pullets to keep (or 1 chocolate cockerel) 2/3 were cockerels and the wrong color
