All of the stories I tell are true, to some degree. We had a hatchery in the farm business I worked in as a teenager. We hatched baby chicks by the thousands. I would put the chicks up in boxes and the "chicken sexers" would come by. Back in those days (mid-fifties) they were all Japanese people. I was told they were nearsighted and better suited for the task. They would pick up each chick and look closely at it's vent. Then they tossed the roosters into one box and the hens into the other box. They did that so fast that I had a hard time keeping up with the count. I had to make sure each of the four compartments of the box had 25 chicks in it and also keep feeding them more chicks and more boxes. Then I delivered chicks to the big growers, several thousand per load. I remember one time I just got the boxes inside the chicken house before a big thunderstorm hit. While I took a keen interest in things back then, chicks in particular, I never tried to qualify as a chicken sexer. I think they were quite well paid. They always came by in a brand new Ford station wagon.
