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...

They are growing fast!

 

I'd say at this stage Midi is the only definite boy

[LittleNell]

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?!

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

[LittleNell]

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...

You sure it isn't just his comb growing? no idea.

 

Beautiful boys though.

could be that it's been pecked and is re-growing

[LittleNell]

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.

Ooh, lovely. I can't wait for the pics

how old are they now?

[LittleNell]

11 weeks roughly! Yes, he is and knows it!

[surfer_chicken]

Yes, I've got to agree, Midi is a gorgeous little man You must be very proud

[mollyripkim]

Just caught up with thread and they are gorgeous. It must be lovely seeing them grow and their personalities develop.

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
