    Pekin bantam thread!

    I unfortunately lost my two oldest pekins this week. Penny and Pixie, who both hatched some eggs for me this summer. A fox got into our pen, as I hadn't bolted the door properly, and took all 4 of the chickens in it. Thankfully our chicks were seperate and are safe, including the two lavenders...

    Thanks all for your help. I'll let the chick grow up a bit more and post a picture. Its a wyandotte chick (and my only one so cant compare it) but the rose comb throws me as to determining sex (I'm fairly new to this). When I watch it just behaves very roo like to me, but I could be very wrong...
