Autosex chicken breeds: Hatcheries and breeders
UPDATE: These hatchery databases are no longer current. The databases were last updated in 2020.
Autosex breeds are breeds that can be sexed at hatch by appearance alone. This means that male chicks look noticeably different from female chicks. So, when you order females, you are almost guaranteed to get females.
Autosexed breeds can be sexed at nearly 100% accuracy, whereas other breeds are sexed with about 90% accuracy.
In this post, you’ll learn where you can find the many different breeds of autosex chickens.
