Mollie333 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Defiantly a cockerel, I'd descibe him as a Blue Frizzle Pekin Bantam Cockerel. Perkin? Do you mean Pekin..? Welcome to the forum, by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 What sort of poultry do you keep? Where abouts are you from? I've just hatched four light sussex under my broody Pekin, but she was smooth, the one that you have is a frizzle, and they are beautiful. How many chooks have you got?

Redwing Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sadly my computer wont let me see the pics or I'd venture a guess If it has feathery legs and frizzly feathers its probably a Pekin, if it has fluffy legs and frizzly feathers then it probably has silkie breeding, if its clean legged and frizzled then its maybe a pure bred Frizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
