Some of my chicks. Salmon Fav girl....I have 3 of these

 

 

Salmon Fav boy....I have 4 of these (although 1 has no comb or wattles yet, but boy colouring)

 

 

Lavendar Araucana....2 of these, just flat greyish area where combs should be......who knows?

 

 

White (?? ) Araucana.....small pale comb

 

 

No prizes for guessing......tiniest cockerel I've ever seen......Mottled Pekin.....3 boys, 1 girl

I've seen white Aras so yours isn't some freaky genetic throwback All very healthy looking birds

[wombatally]

Fee, dare I ask what you will do with the Pekin boys? I have some too and wondered if they will be too small for the pot.

 

Thanks!

[feemcg]

Griffin, the white comes under 'very rare' from the info I've found when googling.....I just wasn't expecting white....and neither was the chap that gave me the eggs, lol...typically, looks like it'll be a boy

 

wombat sally the boys will be offered on a couple of forums and if no one wants them will be put to sleep I'm afraid.

[wombatally]

Hmm, that's what will probably happen to mine to, although OH is convinced if you can make a meal of a pigeon...

 

My Gold Partridge Pekins have thrown out two pure white ones too - must be a genetic thing - way over my head (they are a nice surprise though!).

 

They are all lovely, especially the favs...

[feemcg]

The fav girls are the softest chicks I've ever felt......and so friendly and curious. A Pic of the Arau's I forgot about

The white araucana is very pretty.

[The Dogmother]

I have awhite araucana and she's the prettiest thing ever, laying greeny eggs rather than blue. It's a quite rare throwback in the breeding and not of show standard, so they get sold on.

 

Araucanas are usually late to develop their face furniture and 'sex up'.

 

I love the little pekin boy - so cute. Wish I were nearer - if he was a quiet crower, I might chance him.

[feemcg]

He is cute Clare, the other 2 Pekin boys aren't so developed.....but he does have a peck at me and gets a swift tap on the beak, lol. Funny the only chicks ever to have pecked me are bantams....the Frizzles did it too. If I thought any of them would be quiet I would keep one to keep the wee girl company....I think she'll need a friend as she'd be on her own with the big girls.

[The Dogmother]

Best see how the boys develop them Fee.

 

I love pekins, despite their tendency to go broody; it's their bossy 'Pat Butcher' personality that I like.

 

That one is a wee sweetie

[tidygirlsuk]

My pekin chap gets along really well with the big girls. keep him he is lovely. Great photos

[ruth1]

They are lovely Fee, I want to keep my Faverolle boy so much but I couldnt do that to the neighbours( well I could, but I wont)

[Lewis]

Aww

How could you get rid of him

[Saronne]

What a beautiful Pekin boy!

[tidygirlsuk]

What a beautiful Pekin boy!

 

I know. I would love to see him fully matured.

[sparkysmum]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww your chicks are so beautiful Fee.

[Charlottechicken]

They are lovely Fee.

 

It's nice to see a proper Araucana chick to compare mine to.
