tidygirlsuk Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 At least you got 1 girl. they look lovely. i haven't let my chicks free range yet. i feel a little protective. And 1 of them refuses to get off my arm if i let her out anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yes, what I was saying was that some Wheaton Marans hatch with some black feathers, and the colour is described as Silver Wheaton......the ones with black can be girls or boys (you said in another thread that the black one must be a boy)........anyway, hope they're both girls for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
