    Hen or Rooster? And what breed?

    Yes this does worry me a bit, he does get on them quite regularly, at first I thought it was a bit violent, but the hens don't seem to mind, they get up & shake it off. The girls don't seem to have any injuries or to be all that fazed by it...

    Hen or Rooster? And what breed?

    I hope he's fully grown :-D he not as affectionate now, still comes running when I call, but he will no longer sit in my lap. Our chick was broody hatch/reared, we left one egg with the hen to see if she would stick it out. I haven't got a recent photo of the chick (it's about a month old now)...

    Hen or Rooster? And what breed?

    For anyone interested, the is my Rooster these days. He has grown into a very big boy, but his two hens seem to love him so iv kept him. He is a Dad now & has a little jet black chick that seems to be taking more after him in the looks department than it's pekin bantam mother.

    Glad to hear your flock is doing so well now. Hopefully it's just a case of 'ugly duck syndrome' & she'll grow into a fine looking hen... Cheers!

    Is my chick ok?

    [/IMG] My chick is a few weeks old & seems to be losing its feathers. It seems happy & healthy running around with its parents, eating & drinking well. But it looks so mangy! Is there anything I can do?

    Two hens sharing the sitting time?

    I'm new to the BYC club, with two Pekin Bantam hens & one (I think) EE roster. One of my hens has recently gone broody, so much so that iv decided to let her have a chance of sitting on an egg for three weeks. Who knows maybe I'll add a new chick to my flock!?!?!? Now I haven't wanted to leave...

    Hen or Rooster? And what breed?

    Thanks for all the help guys! At this stage, my two hens still rule over him, even though he is much taller. I guess all I can do is keep an eye on them all as they mature... Thanks again! :-D
