Is my pekin bantam male or female?

[MrsStan]

I have been handed down an original blue Eglu Classic and now am on the lookout for a 3m run and replacement roosting bars - to enable us to start our chicken keeping journey - as it still has the old wooden ones. I am based in Somerset so either local or postable if possible. Could also arrange collection from near Epsom or Poole where family members live if anyone has anything local to there. Please do get in touch. Thank you! 🐓🐣

The blue was made in the mark 1, an then briefly in the mark 2, before being discontinued; do you knwo which one you have? The bars are different, and there were no plastic bars for the mark 1.

Good question - how would I know which version it is? Thanks for the help! 

[The Dogmother]

Post a photo and I'll tell you :)

[MrsStan]

Apologies for the delay and thank you! See photo. We were given it and it needs a good clean before we use it but if you were able to tell whether it is the mk1 or 2 that would be a great help!

That looks like a mark 2 to me, but a photo of the front will confirm that.

[MrsStan]

Fingers crossed! See photos below.

Yep, mark 2 :)

The mark one was a slightly different blue as well

Phew at least I can go ahead and get the roosting bars! Thank you so much for your help 🐓🥰
