Yorkie_and_us Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 HiĀ We hatched 4 beautiful chicks! They are 20 days old. We think Nandoās is Black Pekin BantamĀ Minnie is Black Mottled Pekin BantamĀ Nugget is Lavender Pekin BantamĀ Dipper is Lavender Pekin BantamĀ Are we right? And do you think any of them are roosters? Or Do we need to wait few more weeks to find out? Ā š Thank you so much šĀ IzabellaĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think itās a bit early to find out. Certainly from pictures. Their behaviour will tell a little bit more. But I think youāll have to be a bit more patient. they are very cute though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Lovelies! OK, so they are a bit young, but my bet is that if any of them is male, it could be Minnie. Also Nugget looks to have a more Porcelain colouring than Lavender, which the last photo definitely is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie_and_us Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thank you so much šĀ We think Minnie is the rooster as you said but she doesnāt behave like one š¤¦āāļø She (heš¤£) isĀ so relax, calm and like to do thingsĀ on her own š¤¦āāļøš her wattles are already showing š¤¦āāļø They only chick that slightly behave like a rooster is Nugget š but not always š„°Ā Ā Do you think Nugget and Dipper are the same breed? And what about Minnie and Nandoās?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Those are just absolutely gorgeous chicksĀ š I wish I had bitten the bulletĀ and incubated some of my own whilst I haven't been working at school, but I think I might be too late now. Please keep us updated with some more photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Nugget looks about a week older than the others, and possibly a pekin mix, but without seeing them together it isn'tĀ easy to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie_and_us Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Funny that you said that š„° Minnie and NuggetĀ hatched at the same time. Minnie few seconds earlier š„° Ā Nandoās 6 hours and 40 minutes earlier. Dipper 6 hours and 20 minutes later š„° Ā so Nugget was 3rd in line š„° and yes I spent the whole night watching them hatch š£š¤¦āāļøš¤£ thatās why I know the exact times š¤£š¤¦āāļø Ā I think Iām a bit obsessed with them š¤¦āāļøš¤£Ā Nugget is the heaviest one and then Minnie, Dipper and Nandoās. When they were born Minnie was the smallest š„°š¤¦āāļø Definitely not any more š¤£Ā Nandoās and Minnie look like they are both Black mottled pekin Bantam. But when I bought the eggs Nandoās supposed to be Black Pekin š¤¦āāļø What do you think? š„° Ā are the same? š„° Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Iād say Minnie is a boy, Dipper and Nugget are girls, Nandoās Iām not sure. The colours can change loads as they grow up so itās hard to say. All very cute - makes me want to hatch again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
