LittleNell Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 The boys continue to grow fast. Ginger now has some black/bluebottlegreen feathering coming into his tail. He remains the gentlest of them, followed by Micro, who is a real feathery quiet boy...and lastly Midi, who is a bit feisty still, and has the only pair of non fake tanned legs amongst the lot! No crowing as yet, although the sounds are changing... More pics to follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 They are growing fast! I'd say at this stage Midi is the only definite boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNell Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Had a look at Midi today thinking he had damaged his comb, but it looks like something growing out of it like a nail...any ideas? Is this meant to happen- can tell I am a newbie eh?! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6964216&l=479c4e8121&id=657633393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Urm, from your description and the picture I think that might be his nostril. Is it on both sides? If so, it's definitely nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNell Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 It is on the second frill/bumpy bit from the back of his head going towards his beak. It is like a little white nail that seems to have come out of the very tip of the wobble. His nostril bits I do know and the horn/nail thing is on his head is a similar colour! Confusing myself with that description so try this cropped pic... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6972791&l=dd3ec27ebf&id=657633393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 You sure it isn't just his comb growing? no idea. Beautiful boys though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 could be that it's been pecked and is re-growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNell Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 I was about to go looking for the cat being dismembered by dog/fox etc until I discovered Midi was crowing! He has been now for about 3 days and seems to be improving! No noises from the others as yet. They are in with the ladies but retiring to the gentlemen's lounge at night (aka dog crate!). Will try and take updated pics today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleNell Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 They are quite funny. They staged a takeover bid for the duckhouse last night. They normally sleep in a crate known as the gentlemen's lounge, but decided the duck house looked better. I did not realise until all the ducks went into their house and promptly came straight back out again. I then heard a chook noise and thought the rebellious hen had settled in, so was a bit shocked when I pulled out a Micro chick, followed by Ging. Midi made his own way out and led his team back to the lounge The ducks then put them selves to bed, but not before taking a look around the hut first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
