willyhorton Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 hi guys..,we have a number of chucks from, warrens, blue-bells, suffolk stars, but we have recently got what we have been led to belive pekin bantams from our local garden / pet centre, they were less than a week old when we got the pair of them and they are now 4 weeks old and still in the brood under a red heated lamp, BUT we are unsure if they are pekin bantams because they look so different... one is a yellow / white colour and the other is a blacky / grey colour, BUT only the blacky / grey one has hairy feet and is a third smaller than the yellow one we think the yellow / white one is female, and the other is male , from the tell tale signs any way, can someone tell me if the diffrence can be possible of have i been told the wrong breeds. if i knew how to add pics i would, if ya give me ya email i will forward ya them or i can text ya a pic of them ... many thanks simon from warrington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It sounds like the black one could well be a Pekin but the other one wont be (as you suspect) At that age most white chicks look alike so it may not be for a while that the chick will be identifiable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
