Thanks all...
Black one (who is more like really dark charcoal with black lacing.. does not have the beetle green sheen my adult black girl has, not sure if this is becauseits young or not as good quality or if its just a different colour) has always been suspected cockerel... but now I am not...
They are adopted but as far as I know, my friend's flock are all pekins... but they are pet quality so entirely possible there's something else in there somewhere...
The Grey one looks like a pigeon cross 😄
Thanks so much. He/she is stretched up in the pic I think. I was feeding them greens at the time so they were all on the look out for treats. Normally looks the same as others. Lady I got the eggs from only has pekins as far as I know.
The little black and white baby is lovely. Nicknamed...
Welcome!! Your farmlet sounds fantastic!! We have a little pretend farm in our backyard in suburbia haha. Also used to be a horse rider. 30 odd years now.
Super excited to see your babies when they hatch!
Thanks so much everyone!! Love our chooks aka silly birds. They are great fun and looking forward to learning more about them and chooks in general and corrupting family and friends into getting chooks of their own! 😜
Hi All
Hoping you can help... long story short, had 2 broody hens that we just couldn't break out of it. Got some adopted eggs close to hatching from a friend of mine. Very curious as to their colours and genders...
What we know:
They are chickens
They are pekins
Born the week before Christmas...
Hi Everyone,
New here and fairly new to owning chickens though I have been around chickens my whole life.
We decided to get a small flock of Pekins in June 2021. Mainly as pets but also to enjoy the odd egg. We went with Pekins for several reasons but mostly because of their size and the fact...
