Purplemaniacs Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I hadn't realised that. I am amazed how quickly they develop their little wing feathers. Enjoy your lovely little bundles of fun. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
