scarlettohara Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I want a buff columbian pekin - could you breed me one please Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 They are just fabulous and good photos too. I love the one of 'little and large' Actually this really shows the differnce in size you can get in chickens, something which I never seem to get from books on different breeds. I wish books would put a ruler or something next to their pictures so one could see. Some do put weights but that does not mean a great deal to me.

Dappy Chick Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Wicked photos Lewis I have an ex-batt boy (that I am trying to find a home for). Up to now I daren't put him in with bantams but after seeing your photos I am now wondering if he would be ok, or should I say would the bantams be ok? Is it ok to put big boys in with a mixed flock of various shapes and sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be fine Our 3 boys have been FRing with everyone else forever (hatched in May) but live separately in the but they all get on fine. You can see how small Mabel the pekin is and she's been alright with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
