Janty Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The chicks are now 8 and a half weeks old and they are getting so big. It won't be that long before they are ready to go to their new homes. Here's my little Chipolata that you thought looked like an emu.

Janty Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Chipolata . Cute wee boy, what breed is he.......funny he likes the attention, he's at the front in all the pics! I am gutted that Chips is a boy. I haven't got a clue about what breed he is but he is stunning. He sits in my hand and snuggles into me. It will be sad to see him go.

Janty Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 As soon as the boy/s start crowing they will have to go. The rest will start heading to new homes in about four weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 The good news is that any cockerels will be welcomed by Jo at Little Hen Rescue. She has a waiting list for cockerels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
