I was tempted and I succumbed.

Feed store had 70+ barred rock chicks yesterday and I could clearly discern thanks to my Dave'sGarden P&L sex-link tutorial and official pullet seeking glasses, that only three were pullets. I now strongly suspect hatchery loads feedstore with roos--since there should have been a 50/50 ratio with a straight run.

Lured unsuspecting DH to said feed store today and did amazing song and dance about great opportunity to get small number of known pullets for very low coast.

Results: Three barred rock pullets approximately 1 week old in brooder.

Requesting that CF verify head spot dimensions. Am I losing all control?
