People at feed stores often have no clue as to what is what with chicks. and they will often mix the breeds together when stocks start getting low.That’s what we are afraid of. Just sent an email to Hoovers with pictures and info found here.
Perhaps I’m still naive, but just find it hard to believe an entire run of cockerels were mixed up with pullets, sent to the farm store, then placed in the bin, and nobody caught it other than my wife and I.
However something here isn’t adding up.
Hoover's doesn't have the greatest reputation, either, but this is clearly their fault.
