mimi5 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 So the little feathered ones are mostly 2 weeks old today. They are growing lots of feathers and flapping them when they run, even trying a little flying up to get on mums back while she's standing So I been watching them and I reckon I've 3 girls and 5 boys . The prettiest black and white chick is a boy and I think both of the brown chicks too. I've seen them sparring with each other and the biggest brown chick always pecks me when I pick him up Well time will tell if I am right Yesterday and today when I visit the run Martha seems to get frantic, pacing and seeming to want out She can't leave the chicks till 6 weeks right? Last time both of my broodies were brilliant till 6 weeks, then it was like a switch flipped and they just didn't want to play mummy anymore! They are in the classic with 2 meter run. I do have another meter of run which I thought I could add when the chicks are bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
