Sue1411 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi A while back we raised some beautiful pekins from hatching eggs and they grew up to be so tame and friendly. However we were lucky and got all ladies so never had to deal with the cockerel problem. We have no hens at the moment but would like to start from scratch again with some chicks but really want to avoid getting boys. I read somewhere that the hybrid breeds are self sexing and so I have two questions I'm hoping someone would be able to help me with - 1) is this true of all hybrid breeds or just some? 2) Where would I be able to purchase hybrid chicks from? (can only seem to find pure breed chicks that are unsexed or POL pullet hybrids). Thanks very much Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 this is one place that has day old hybrids listed but it's in Glostershire and the price list page is dated 2008 http://www.poultrypark.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
