Janty Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Well, the chicks are 6 weeks old on 8th December and I thought I'd post some pics. You don't have to say a word. I am fully aware that the Janty curse has struck three times. My only problem is that one of them is a real sweetie and it will be tough parting with him. He is the chick in the first photo.

Janty Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi Janty, how old are they now? My girls are 9 weeks tomorrow - yes both girls, when I so desperately wanted a boy to hatch! They are divine, do you have any up to date pics? Emma.x Hello, I haven't been on much lately due to some family problems. My poor lad has been suffering some pretty horrendous bullying at school. Consequently, I have only just seen your post. The babies are ten weeks old now and absolutely gorgeous. I am still trying to find good homes for two of them. I haven't got up to date photos at the moment but I will take some at the weekend and post them on the forum. I now let them out in the garden with the cochins who don't give them any hassle at all. I call 'babies' and they come running. It's so sweet. Having said that, the cochins were scared off by a robin last week so they are a bit woosey.

Janty Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Next update... The boys are all grown up and two went to live with in-laws. I was talking to a breeder near Bury St Edmunds and I mentioned that I was looking for some girls to go with the boys. He asked if he could look at the boys as he needed unrelated cockerels. I took them today and he loved them. He has swapped them for two silver partridge pekin girls and two more pekins may have fallen into the cat basket by accident . He had a stunning pekin but she wasn't for sale...a buff columbian crossed with a silver partridge. I've asked if he could call me if he hatches any more of them. I've just had to break the news to the in-laws that neither cockerel was coming back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
