We bought six little baby chicks yesterday! Supposedly they are all female (not sure how they tell and not sure I want to know... seems I remember a Dirty Jobs episode about that) and the kids are just going nuts over them.
Last time my Dad and I got chicks, we were told they were all female. 6 out of the 10 were roosters. We ended up trading the 6 roosters for 2 geese and I believe 6 or 7 ducks. Such an odd trade, but we did have a pond and some ducks already. The farm has since become a retirement home for the fowl. I don't think we'll ever eat them, lol.
Good luck, and I hope you got more hens than roosters! (Or if you do have more roosters, I hope you can trade them for something more productive than a pair of evil geese and a pile of ducks...although...we did get a bunch of fuzzy ping pong ball ducklings out of the deal...that was productive, at least!)
