NF Waters of the Michigan Regional Poultry Laboratory in Successful Farming outlines what a buyer should know when purchasing baby chicks. He notes color differences are minor and chicks alone can’t predict adult performance. He argues buyers want chicks that thrive from start to first laying year, stay disease free, lay large eggs, and yield a marketable carcass at maturity.
