I don't think they're very good layers though ;)

If you don't have a big appetite, might barbecue up pretty good - Used to buy little chicks when I was a kid and have often wondered how you could tell the little roosters from the little pullets - Trevor, I know the difference, but they both looked the same to me.  Maybe I shouldn't even bring this up.

Henry, I know the theory but have never had to "sex" a chicken before.  This probably isn't the right place to be discussing it though ;)

I buy only hens and take the distributer's word that what I'm getting is accurate... although I HAVE ended up with a rooster every time i buy a new batch :(

The Discovery Channel featured this topic on the show "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe.  It was very interesting and needless to say Dirty.
