smudgley Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 So we bought 6 light sussex bantams & realised 4 of them were boys, then another one starting crowing, & now the last one has been confirmed a male too. So I reckon we've either been very unlucky or someone knew that they were selling young males. Anyway, we are now left with just our 4 Goldlines & will be getting some more *HENS* soon! No boys this time We are going to get some Calder Rangers I think, although we can't seem to find anyone with any at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgley Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 They've all been rehomed as we live in a built up area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Wow, bad luck - I hope someone wasn't having you on. We've got a Calder Ranger and she is the friendliest most regular layer we've got - eggcellent choice of breed! Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutechicky Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Om! That is so unlucky! I knew someone that had a dog that could tell the sexes of 2 day old chicks! (One day would be too stressful for the poor little things ) Anyway, they used to sell off cockerals and keep the hens. Apparantly there are techniques out there. I was very lucky with my 2 eggs I hatched. Both girls! *phew!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
