good_egg Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 You seem to be missing the end code for the img should have [img*] at start and [/img*] at end only without the stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

good_egg Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Nope, no end code and star in the beginning code now. Try using the button at the top of the posting box and pasting the BB code in between the code bits - make sure it is bb code as well....

Redwing Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Its the one most likely to be a boy, it has a lot less feathers than the others which would indicate a boy but its comb looks girly. Pekin boys are usually very easy to spot by this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told when i bought that he was a day or 2 younger and that y his feathers hadnt come though... They are now 5 week ( if like you said the dating is right) xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I hatched pekins last year and had 4 boys and 3 girls!!! The boys tend to feather up slower, so I'd watch the one in the 1st pic, the others all look like girlies! Boys develop their "head gear" quickly and redden up too. By 8/9 weeks mine were trying to crow!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
