So at last pics of my not so little babies!!!!! Penny is the oldest at 10 wks and the only girl from my 4 eggs!!!(boys all re-homed )She is a kind of pale gold partridge. Then there's Marty Mcfly ........yes he's a lemon or buff cuckoo boy!! But so cute going to see if I can keep him!! Next are Forence, birchen and Martha black or possibly mottled. They were bought eggs and are 8 wks old.

They are beautiful, hope you can keep your boy.

[LottyJ1]

All so cute! Love the fluffy feet!

[jeshen]

They are all gorgeous - and I love the names!

 

As you've said, hatching is quite a stressful and hit-and-miss business, but I wouldn't mind having another go next year and try to produce a pekin or two! You must feel very satisfied to have produced all those beautiful chicks!

[Mrs_B]

Ahhh they are adorable! Lovely photos!

 

You must be very proud

Ah thanks for all the kind replies!!

 

I do adore them and miss my beautiful boys that I had to re-home!! Keep in touch with their new mums though!!! (not that I'm controlling or anything ) I still worry about them and watch them like a hawk, they're changing over feathers at the moment

 

I did enjoy hatching, but it wasn't as easy as I'd thought.....even using broodies!!!!! But think I might have another go next year....NO doubt my girls will be broody If I can keep the lemon boy, it would be nice to see what colours I might get!! But probably getting maxed out on capacity in my garden and chicken housing!!!!!!

 

Slight confession........getting 2 bantam aruacana girls in a few weeks!!!! Had wanted some before I got the pekins, but couldn't seem to find any locally. Hopefully next year I'll be collecting blue eggs!!

 

Mmmmm ........ might even see what a aruacana x pekin looks like

[LolaCola]

They are adorable

 

When are your aruacanas coming too you? Chicks or older lady's?

 

Lord chickens are addictive arn't they

[mimi5]

Oh yes!!! "More-hens" disease is quite common around here

 

The new girls are lavender growers. Not sure exactually what age as they range from 8wks to 14wks and I get to choose!!!! But hoping to get older girls so I don't have to run 3 pens for too long and then they can go in with Monty and his ladies!!

 

Marty Mcfly is doing his screechy doodles in the morning now! Oh he does make me smile!!! Just hope his grown up doddle doos aren't too loud!!! Monty's are lovely......but he does start early and keeps right on going!! Thankfully my nighbours are ok about him (I did ask them before getting Monty!!!) but worry 2 will be too much?!?! Going to wait and see how it goes.

"more-hens disease" like it can I pass that of to the family as the genuine medical condition?

 

Blue eggs are fab, I used to have a colombine that had a lovely bluey green egg, used to remind me of a cadburys mini egg when I collected them

 

Hope they all settle in well together x
