scarlettohara Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) 3 weeks old now and getting very lively - they rush to see me now, have mocks fights with each other and try to fly round the brooder Can they have a pecka block to entertain them ? Does anyone have any ideas for things to put in the brooder ? Edited March 29, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You could hang some CDs so they can admire their pretty selves. I've just switched my incy on to 'warm up'. Eggs arrive tomorrow so will be going in on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 No idea on sexes except that I'd guess the first picture is a boy. They are really lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlotta Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'd almost put money on the first one being a boy! He's got a massive comb! Can't tell sexes from the other pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I was gonna say no1 boy too sorry They are lovely though, at that gorgeous teenage stage where theres more skin than feathers! Great pics, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 The breeder the eggs came from has looked at them now and some good news The pekin is blue motled and of good type so I should hopefully be able to rehome him Red wyandotte is a boy but quite rare so may have some chance with him, she thinks I have a millefleur dotte girl and boy so again more chance as a pair, little poot is a girl and will stay She may be a boy now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Awwwwwww they are so lovely but little poot has to be my favourite. Don't know what it is about the poots, they're such happy, cheery, wee hens. Love them Enjoy Alli xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
