Lewis Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 How old? I’d guess boy at this stage but feathers aren’t quite there yet either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framsay Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks for replying. S/he’s about 12-13 weeks I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Whatever he/she may be...absolultey lovely. Reminds me of Buckbeak! Beautiful colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framsay Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thank you, we are heartbroken she (he) may have to go back. We’re hoping and praying for an egg before a cock-a-doodle-doo! 😭😭 She’s so funny and we love her to bits already! She is a wee bit dominant over the 3 pekins, and we thought she was just being a bossy madam, but now we’re wondering if it’s him keeping the girls in order! 😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Have you checked feet? A friend had a bantam which, she was SURE was a girl, until 'she' grew spur buds which developed into pretty vicious spurs in due course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framsay Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks, will have a look and see if I can see anything that looks like spurs may grow! She’s a baby though so maybe not quite yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yes, think it’s a boy. Any chance you can keep him? My first Cockerel was an accident. I thought the neighbours would object but they loved hearing him. So I’ve had a Cockerel, ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Handy for me to see as I have 3 araucana bantam eggs hopefully hatching in a week 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
