Only metaphorically of course

[laurmurf]

not even a mouthful to them, mostin.... a chicken nug-let

 

now Anton... there'll be a different story!

[mostin]

Oooooooo yes, Anton.............I wonder if he's been et yet?

From the bottom, Rockall, Cromarty, Malin. 4 weeks old exactly. Rockall has a tiny comb, but apart from that, there are no obvious differences.

 

Very hard to photograph...they are never still.

 

So....boys or girls, what do you reckon? I change my mind every time I look at them.

[The Dogmother]

They are so gorgeous Egluntine.

 

Pekins are hard to tell until they're older - usually around 10 weeks. I'd say that Cromarty looks like a girl, but would need to see nore of them.

[Egluntyne]

I'll try to get some more pics.

 

They've got me stumped....I'm usually quit e good at sexing them, especially by this age.

[atsw]

We could certainly tell our boys and girls apart by four weeks.

 

Our Golden Partridge Pekins arrived 25th June, the photo below was 19th July

 

As you can see, the two boys have very clearly defined combs and small wattles. If nothing of any notoriety is visible on yours within the next 7-10 days, they will be girls. Even now, at 10-weeks old, our girls have no comb or face furniture to speak of.

[Egluntyne]

Thanks Andrew. Very encouraging.

[Yorkshire Pudding]

Ooh, sounds like you could be in luck Egluntine!

 

They're sweeties.

[Redwing]

Pekin breeders get rid of male chicks at a few days old, you see them in auctions and think that they are too young to sex therefore a good buy so they must be able to tell early on somehow

 

Lovely chicks Egluntine

[alih]

can't believe I have missed this thread till now.

 

Gorgeous chicks and fab names...you could go on and on!!

 

keep us up to date with the pics - and how are the older 2? Still with us??

[Egluntyne]

Anton crowed so ended up in the freezer, but Claudia is quite beautiful, if a little thick.

[craftyhunnypie]

I think the buff one is going to be a boy & the other 2 girls.

I think that must be a sussex tendancy. My Light sussex and my three buff sussex are the only chooks who have trouble finding the door to the run every single night . I swear, you'd think I moved it every day . All the other other girls have no problem, but I despair of those 4, and the buf who is a boy , well how he remembers to put one foot in front of the other is a mystery to me.

 

It's a good job he's so pretty .

[Scramble]

They are looking adorable

Emma.x

 

I agree.

[Egluntyne]

11 weeks old now and not a peep out of them. L-R Rockall, Cromarty and Malin.

 

[Cooks]

oh they are so pretty, their little faces are so cute

[mostin]

Ooohhhh they are just too cute. There were pekins of every colour imaginable at countryside live last sun. I couldn't make up my mind who was the cutest, I kept running between them all .

[Redwing]

could they all be girls I wonder?

 

They look super

[tom123]

All girls

[Egluntyne]

I'm as sure as I can be that they are all girls.

 

They are very sweet.

[Chickvic]

They're gorgeous
