8 week old chicks in identity crisis PICS

Recommended Posts

well the chicks are now 8 weeks old and all look completely different!!!!

when i brought the eggs i had 6 chaucer bantams, (which tom kindly found pictures of for me because i couldn't find anything out about them) and 6 frizzles. i marked all of the eggs and plonked them under my broody. unfortunatley the marks rubbed off :doh:

i know i definatley have 2 frizzles as you can't miss them!

I think Lola looks a bit like a pekin bantam? :/

 

A poultry auction in cannock, where? :lol: Just asking for a friend :wink::whistle: (don't tell Dad :lol: )

 

 

Penkridge Market every Wed. :wink:

 

Starts with eggs at 12.30. then they do the polultry. It gets very busy there, so get there early if you want to look at the birds before the auction starts.

Oh my word - what beautiful chicks and what a great mix. They must look so lovely all together. I've never heard of a chaucer bantam - they're so beautifully marked and coloured.

 

Great names too. Each of them really suit their names. :D Fizz and Fuzz :lol:

 

Lola has a bit of a silkie poufy thing going on on top, hasn't she? Lovely girl. Racing Stripes (awwwww) is gorgeous too but I have no idea what breed she is.

 

Thank you for posting these lovely photos.

At the breeders I saw a silkie-feathered poland. She's bred from poland x poland and they aren't sure why she has silkied feathers. They lie smooth like a poland but they are like silkie 'fur' to touch :D If they manage to breed any more I'm going to get one (or possibly a pair :shh: )
