Thanks, I might also try some of the the advice you gave kat. It sounds very similiar.

@satay

How long has it been missing? Chooks are good at hiding. After a dog/fox attack I've seen them hide for hours, and come out of the woodwork very slowly.
Granted I'am on a farm so they have plenty of good spots to hide. Anyway I hope it turns up.

She has been missing since about 10.30am. No feathers anywhere, just no sign of her. I found the 2 dead ones close to their cages but this little girl has just vanished...

Don't give up yet Kym, when i had a dog attack my little roo was so frightened he didn't come back till just before dark the following day. Hungry.

Thanks fancy. I'll update if she turns up. Been out with a torch looking but no sign so far.

Thanks Satay for the welcome.

I hope your girl shows up.

Gees sorry to hear about those loosing birds I was away for a weekend and it seems like everyone had a real hard time lately.

Aaaw Satay, I am so sorry to read your sad news .. I hope you find her

Sorry to hear you have been under the weather FancyChookLady.

Once again, I need your help please?
I ran this little one on a bit longer than the other obvious roosters in the hopes it was a pullet. I thought I heard a crow attempt on the weekend but I was half asleep and it could have been one of the many many birds we have around here. Yesterday morning when I was feeding them before work, still a bit dark and they were just waking up and I heard what can only be described as two 'croaks'. This morning, nothing, just straight out of bed and into the breakfast bowl followed by a scratch in the run. Personality-wise I am undecided but not seeing anything strikingly rooster.

So, throwing it out there to you guys and gals, just on the pictures alone and at 8 weeks old; what do you think? What is your best guesstimate?

Very cute. Waddles and comb look rooish but I've had no experience with this breed.

Thank you FancyChookLady, yep he/she is very cute .. I really want to keep Her! lol

Hopefully someone else may have a little more experience with Pekins.

Thanks again

At 8 weeks old ... that's a rooster. Pekin girls wont have that big a comb at 8 weeks.You are prob hearing practice crows. They sound so funny in pekins, My 5 months old ones had only tiny combs. I'll see if i can get a pic for you today of my young pair i bought recently so you can see the difference between boys and girls.
