Janty Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Bearing in mind that the pekins are all the same age, any ideas about whether they are girls or boys? The eggs were a pressie from a breeder. He is lovely but obviously got his eggs mixed up as they were all meant to be salmon pekins. The two yellow chicks are salmons and boys (not a lot of feathering and they are feathering up like salmon boys). I think that Honey, the golden one is a partridge girl but I am not sure about the two heavily feathered grey ones. By the rules of feathering up quickly, they should be girls but by the rules of Janty's law, I am quite attached to them so they wil probably be boys.
