First lot of chicks hatched out on March 26th - got 4 black chicks (they were meant to be light sussex but obviously not!) :?

We've waited for the tell tell signs of possible cockerels and all looked pretty similar - maybe we have got 4 pullets   But alas they all now seem to be crowing :shock: so it looks like first hatch are all boys :!:

Thinking of taking them to market but at what age is best to take them?  Do I wait until they grow into good looking young men or the sooner the better?

sooner the better in my opinion heifer

Oh what a shame, that is the reason I've never considered hatching eggs  :cry:   Move them on asap in my opinion too  :!:
