atsw Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Our Gold Partridge Pekin, Honey, was one of our first 'home hatches' back in 2011. Fast-forward three years and now it's her tun to be 'Mum'. A total of 4 chicks, 2 Pekins and 2 Polands. 1 black and 1 white of each. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 And finally, here's the chicks (all Polands this time) from the third set that hatched alongside set two. Biscuit, our best broody, is being 'Mum' to this lot. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Adorable! Please keep the photos coming! As requested, the Pekins and Poland chicks (from two different hatches) have been moved into their specially constructed 'apartments' in the WIR. They are now 10 days old. First, the Pekins and first Polands (one Pekin chick hiding). and next, the 2nd set of Polands. The 'big girls' are not at all happy at having been evicted from the WIR to live in the original Omlet Run . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thank you atsw! I have no experience of hatching so it's amazing to see how quickly they are growing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thank you atsw! I have no experience of hatching so it's amazing to see how quickly they are growing! If you'd like to watch a short slide-show of all three sets of chicks growing up, click here. I've added captions so you can see how old they are in each picture. I'll add more pictures as time goes on. P.S. Sorry, but you won't see anything if you're using a Tablet or Phone. The slideshow will only display on a Computer at the moment.

Luvachicken Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I clicked on it So many pics and such beautiful chicks - and their mums. Thanks for sharing, especially as I only have a laptop anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Here are the Polands and Pekins at just over 2 weeks old (16 days). Getting to the 'scruffy' stage now . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well, what a difference a week makes . Here's the Polands and the white Pekin at 3 weeks old. The black Poland has got to be a boy don't you think . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I love the brown speckley one. Is she a pekin ? I see she has fluffy feet coming. They are all very sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 I love the brown speckley one. Is she a pekin ? I see she has fluffy feet coming. Yes, in that brood there are two Polands and two Pekins. The other Pekin is quite shy and retiring and not as keen as his siblings to be photographed. Both Pekins had fluffy feet from the day they hatched.

Patricia W Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Not sure she's a Pekin. She's the image of Shirley Bassey, the frizzle Poland's two siblings. I'll bring a picture over, Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm wrong. Having seen them in the flesh, definitely a pekin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 How are they getting on now? They are all doing very well, thank you. They will be six weeks old this Thursday. Here are the 2nd set of hatchlings. Mum with 2 x Pekins (1 brown, 1 black) and 2 x Polands (1 black, 1 white). Pretty sure both Pekins are boys, and the black Poland is too. and here are the 3rd set. Mum with 4 x Polands (3 black, 1 white). Not so sure about this lot, but could be 1 boy and 3 girls. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMARCH Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 They're looking lovely its good that some are hens too I like the black ones with their legs. I've got some australorps in the incubator along with some CB Marans and CLB x CBM so will be interested to see how yours in the legbar thread turn out. Your broodys are great too.
