craftyhunnypie Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 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!

Redwing Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yes the chicks had a teddy to snuggle up to, makes them think its a mummy hen, its comforting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 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!

craftyhunnypie Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 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. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
