penelope Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi there. We decided to let our brooder hatch some bantam eggs. The mum was a peeking. I have seen a site which shows all sorts of chicks. I thouht it was feather site but I can't see Pekins anywhere on there. My little one has a spot on the back of it's head & I seem to remember that can point to it being a boy or a girl. It's so strong and healthy & so lovely to see Bertie being such a great mum. We hatched her ourselves last year and I am so proud of her! Hope someone can jog my memory about where I can see some pics. I will post some omn here soon. Thanks in hope! Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Feathersite has a pekins page but no pics in the chick section If its black with a dot on its head it will probably be a cuckoo one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penelope Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks for the reply. we were expecting them to be either cuckoo or silver lace peekin. Unless of course a different cockerel got at them before they were kept in a different enclosure. I will try to post some pics. She ( ) is yellow with a brown spot on the back of her head. 2 brown stripes down her back and a broader brown stripe down the middle of her back. It's very cute and really strong. Also I really need some advice about fluffy knickers who has been broody for weeks & looks so sad. I have posted in a new post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
