The chicken man delivered the chicks. we got 90, 75%, brother said Tyson hatchery got 85% in the in their hatcheries. we did pretty good. The tub is too small so I have half of the babs in a tote. If I am able to raise 1/2 of the chicks Betty and I will have plenty of replacement pullets. I think I will give Betty all the roosters.
i didn't get many feathered legged chicks. I hope some of them live and are pullets.
at least half of the chicks are black and white, that means the speckle rooster was covering most of the hens. but I got some Old English games so the pretty rooster is fertile.
This is the count best i can tell , 10 with feathers on legs, 16 Old English game, the rest seem to be all black and white. We will have many speckled roosters no doubt.
