Like all commercial egg laying birds, the males are killed on hatching.

I have 2 warren chicks that hatched yesterday, one male & one female, you're welcome to him in a few weeks if you'd like him. We're in Gower, Swansea btw.

Where did you get your warren eggs from?
Warrens are a hybrid - if you do get a warren cockerel and mate him with your warren hens, you won't get warrens - you'll get some sort of mixture. Hybrids don't breed true.

Ah right, I was given hatching eggs by our local petting farm, they have what they are calling Warren cockerel and hens but I guess they aren't true Warrens then.
