The older a chick gets, the less it costs because they need to get rid of it. They couldnt carw less if its a male or female, they just need that bird goneThere is a surprise.. This people have no clue.. I've bought pullets for a buck, because they were no longer chicks.. and I like chicks.. but better they are pullets if you ask me.. All but one made it, except the one that stuck her neck out. While the dogs were present. So don't understand their philosophy.. Pullets are better than chicks.. and should cost more..
