A straight run is a 1:1 ratio of males and females, or an equal amount of each. A "pullet" is a female. The 1:1 is an 'average'. The actual ratio varies. When purchasing chicks the true count comes out of what ever hatches. Eggs are hatched 10,000 to 100,000 at a time. If there are more females to males in that hatch you get more females..... You get a straight run by them pulling your 25, 50 or 100 from those. No one actually sexes that many birds without an order for all males or all females.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
