Chicken bald back

[craftyhunnypie]

It's true! I think I heard 2 and a half week old Ginelli the lavender pekin chick...... crow!

I walked in my front room with my heavy snow boots on & it obviously didn't like the clonking. It made these funny crow noises, like a quail crowing, but it had the neck stetched too. At such a young age, I am truly shocked. I've had them start at 8 weeks, but this is just funny funny!

I'm watching it like a hawk!

One of my Pekins started crowing at 3 weeks it was hysterical to hear, he stood on top of his teddy belting out the crows non stop

His teddy?!?! Like in bear?

[Redwing]

Yes the chicks had a teddy to snuggle up to, makes them think its a mummy hen, its comforting

That is the cutest thing EVER. I thought you meant a teddy bear but wasn't sure. I thought about chucking a teddy bear in with the girls last night it has been so cold.

Well I hatched 2 chicks for my sister. She named the first one Gino ( after I'm a Celebrity). The second one she called Ginelli. So they are named after Gino Ginelli ice cream - not because we expected a boy.

Gino is a blondey brown frizzle ( I think girl). Ginelli is a lavender (beautiful) plain feathered.....erm boy. I don't know what my sister will think, not told her yet. But I personally would like to keep him if she doesn't want him - don't tell hubby. Sister lives on a farm anyway - so boys shouldn't be an issue. It's the mother in law that has the issues!

You have teddies. Of course you do

Gino & Ginelli are now in their new brooder at my sister's house. Not only do I think Ginelli is a boy, I also have my suspicions about Gino too. A lot going on in the headgear department.

 

I'm thinking that my 2 Tiddlywinks & Scrabble are both girls. Not much going on in the headgear department for just over 6 weeks old & no obvious feathering differences.

 

However, I did want a frizzle boy...as The mighty Spongebob will be in his 3rd year next year. Ahh bless.
