Mollie333 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Four chicks hatched yesterday, and one today. We think three are pure Pekins and the two others Wyandotte x Pekins? These are the two that we think are Wyandotte crosses. Not sure what colours these are, but i think one might be from my Mottled hen! And heres a little yellow fluffy Pekin. Really odd because our cockerel is Black/silver/gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Be warned that I once saw a pure white chicken turn into a black chicken as it grew up - amazing. Chickens never cease to amaze & fascinate me! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Awww! I'm hoping for Lavender (frizzled?) pekins & Silver Laced Wyandottes... Well, Lippizaner horses get born black & then turn white... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Lippizaner horses get born black & then turn white... Awww, i love frizzles, and Lavenders, the 'mother' of the chicks is a Lavender Pekin, I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Mother of the Wyandotte crosses. Glad someone knows the horses. I've known a foal to be born skewbald and turn grey and white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Fascinating Molly they are really cute, it's going to be interesting to see how the pekin/wyandottes turn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The colour changes in some chicks over the first few weeks and months is amazing to watch. I tried to capture this with the Pekin chicks we raised two years ago. You can watch a short slideshow of their progress by clicking here. They are all grown up now, and two of the girls are now sat on their own eggs as I type . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ones i thought were wyandotte crosses is actually alot smaller than the definite wyandotte cross! I have a Gold Partridge frizzle Pekin, maybe this could be her chick?! Sorry for bad quality photo, i was trying to get the colours, and he/she was a few hours old. All the chicks seem to have huuuge wings now! Does this mean they are boys?
