    Pekin mix chicks (poss light Sussex or buff Orpington mum) what sex are we thinking?

    Hi all, Just wanted to make a wee post about my two surprise chicks that one of my hens hatched a month ago - the larger (brown) one is 5 weeks old and the blonde one is about 4.5 weeks old. I know it’s probably too early to tell but I thought it was worth putting these guys out there!

    One of my baby roosters has a hole in it’s foot.

    I’ve noticed a hole in the webbing of their foot. They can walk and run like normal, but what could’ve caused this? He might have got hurt outside or it may have been another chick.
