Chicken bald back

Well day 3 for the first hatchlings and amazingly 2 of the blacker are getting wing feathers So miller 30....girls maybe???????

 

They are growing so fast. They've been sleeping in the doorway of the classic, enjoying the sun

Aahhh

[miller30]

The girls normally feather up faster so fingers crossed

I hadn't realised that. I am amazed how quickly they develop their little wing feathers.

 

Enjoy your lovely little bundles of fun.

Miller30 is there also some truth in how the feathers are shaped as they arrive that can also be an indicator of sex. But only in the first days??

 

I am enjoying the cute fluffies, but wont see much of them today or tomorrow as I'm at work I will notice however how much they grow

[miller30]

Not sure I never bother with the feather sexing I'm not convinced it works you will know soon enough they grow up so fast fingers crossed you have no boys or more girls than boys leanne

[mimi5]

Yes pekins mature fairly quickly Last time the boys were crowing by 8 weeks I only read about the feather thing recently, so was curious to know if it was true.

 

I think I've a couple of girls atleast but hopefully more I'd love a mottled or 2
