    Percentage of incorrectly sexed chicks

    We purchased 26 chicken from a local farm. The farm is known and does a good bit of business. We walked out knowing at least 2 were roosters. We’re now at the 5 1/2 month mark it looks like we have over 25% of our chickens are roosters. What’s an acceptable percentage of wrongly sexed chicks?
