YEA!!! another Muscovy Lover!!! congratsYesterday in Gilbert it was pretty hot the girls had there shade, fan, frozen water bottles and the pen was sprayed every now and then no panting in my house, everyone isn't allowed to get stressed.
My Muscovy's duckling hatched out yesterday too... thos ducks are the most heat tolerant birds I've met. (duckling pic.'s coming soon!)
Prolly make a great chicken parm...oh no, so one of my basque roos(who i think are about 13-14 weeks now) decided last night to growl and charge at one of the twins last night. he has gotten increasingly worse in the aggressive department while the other basque roo just runs away without making a peep! but this fella, he was having a stare off with me last night, dragging his wing on the ground, then screaching at me, his neck feathers all puffed up. he bit my wrist, twice. i picked him up, got bit again, and held him like sonoran silkies showed me until he settled down, put him down and he turned around and screeched at me. i am thinking this roo is destined to be baked, soon. darn. he was way expensive too
Reminds me of when pastrymama first got the Basque chickens. I had no idea what they were and had to google image search it.
Im not sure of the genders of the chicks but are marans supposed to have feathered legs?Ok, who wants to guess at the sex of my chicks? I would like your professional opinions!
Chick #1. Blue Marans. I suspect pullet.
Chick #2 Blue Marans. I suspect roo.
Chick #3. My funky, mangy looking black orpington. I suspect a roo.
Chick #4. Blue Marans. I suspect roo.
And, last but not least, Chick #5, my olive egger. I suspect a pullet.
I know it's really early to tell, but let me know what y'all think! Thanks!
