I am considering getting a few chickens for my backyard. (Keeping chickens is legal.)
I want blue eggs and an unusual chicken. I've found a breeder who has Ameraucanas. They are very active exhibiting.
The woman I spoke to said that she will send a minimum of 10 unsexed day-old chicks (to keep warm during shipping).
I don't want 10. I want two or three. My idea is to keep the minimum and then as they start to not produce enough eggs, get another but keep the unproductive chicken as a pet. You can see how I would quickly become over run if I started with five or six hens.
Can they be sexed as day-old chicks?
I don't know if I have the stomach to cull the roosters.
Suggestions?
Janet
