I got mine! A small flock gives us 6 eggs a day. If things get bad, I can take those eggs and place them in my incubator and have some chicks in three weeks. But then, lots of people can’t do that. Sad.

Ummmm..at least 1 of the flock has to be a rooster and not all eggs have been fertilized...in fact most haven't.

When I buy chicks I buy 10-15 sexed pullets. Then I buy 5 straight run. Two or three of those will be roosters.

And when I hatch some from my incubator at least half are roosters. Fine eating after about three months.
