craftyhunnypie Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Here are mine & my sisters chicks that we hatched in our 'jointly' bought incubator. We had 12 eggs, 7 were fertile...3 hatched & 4 dead in shell - didn't make it out of the shells. But we are very happy with what we have 1 lavendar pekin & 2 so called frizzle bantams. Don't think they have the frizzle gene somehow & we think one is a cockerel, because of it's tail fluff / feathers, my sister is having that one. I think I may end up letting her have them all, due to the low hatch rate. We were hoping for more pekins. Here is the pekin - he / she is beautiful & we call him / her Orville!!!! The others are so called frizzles - here is the one we think is a cockerel So what do you think? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 apart from the obvious cock a doodle doo, just how do you sex a pekin & the others for that matter! We hoped & prayed that these would live as last year my sister hatched a black pekin, but it died at a day old. So 2 weeks on, we are so pleased. Orville isn't as advanced as the others, but it's pekin feet are just lovely. What did everyone else think about the sexes? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
