AndreaT Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I think I've found a home for one of my cockerels and I was wondering when he could go to his new home? They'll be 6 weeks old on Saturday and look like little chickens now not chicks One of them is even crowing already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Mum will often abandon chicks at between 6-8 weeks, so they are good to go and will be fine. My broody has (just today), decided her three chicks (which are now all bigger than her as she's a Pekin and they are LF Silver Laced Wyandottes ) are old enough and big enough to fend for themselves. The chicks will be 8 weeks old this weekend. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaT Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks Andrew! Your chicks must've looked funny with the broody, mines a big wyandotte cross and there doesn't seem to be much room under her with the 3 chicks she's got. They still squeeze under her though!
