Smiler Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Haven't been around for a while but thought you guys might like to see the new additions to our chook population. 2 Partridge Pekins and 2 New Hampshire Reds, 10 weeks old and I think you will agree very cute, even with their purple spray. Goldie is the boss as you can see she has all feathers in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scramble Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Aw they're adorable! I'm I love the partridge pekins, I'm getting one of them but at 12 weeks so they're a little older. Can I ask did you clip their wings? (Sorry I'm anxious about tomorrow, when mine arrive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 No we haven't clipped the wings on any of ours. The chicks are confined to a run as they are just too quick to catch unless they are sleepy. The older girls have a new house and large run. They do get a bit of height when flapping after coming out to free range but haven't attempted any escape. It looks like a mummy duck with all her ducklings waddling behind when we walk in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
