brambles Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Sorry it's taken so long, here are Mrs Doyle with her surrogate babies (they are wyandotte bantams hatched for a friend). Pingu, George, Wobbly and Tiny - although we still confuse who's who. Thanks for all the support through the sit and the hatch, they're fab! No idea if they're boys or girls, the next few weeks will tell! investigating the garden George Tiny's at the front (boy?) George again. just hatched!

atsw Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 They are great pictures and wonderful chicks . Mum looks really well too, no sign of paleness around her headgear, which is wonderful. No idea on the "boys or girls" question, they all look great, so who cares . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleNell Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 what a lovely set of pictures. They are very cute indeed...micro did look quite similar but seemed to be a bit darker and slower off the mark than your guys...or gals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm not sure if it's true for Dotties, but girls generally feather up faster than boys and there looks to be a bit of a difference in the wing feathers on yours ......... Such lovely photos too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think Tiny could be a boy & George a girl. Unsure of the others as can't see too close up. Don't count on me though! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambles Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 That's my instinct too Emma, although I'm no expert. I think pingu is a boy too - the one to the left with an Alice band marking on the picture with tiny. Think wobbly might be a girl but maybe that's wishful thinking. More pics as they get bigger.
