Separate sexes in chick flock for rapid growth
The New York State College of Agriculture advises separating pullets and cockerels as soon as sexes are identifiable. Male chicks tend to be larger and stronger, limiting pullet growth when kept together. Separate by breed when possible, choose fastest developing cockerels for breeding, and market brothers early as prices fall with season progress.
