I just had these two pretty babies delivered from a guy (online ad) who lives quite far but was driving by here on his way to the next province, so it was convenient for me. We had a chat on the phone, he sounded like a nice guy and all. He had some partridge bantam cochins, $10 each, all sounds perfect!
I SPECIFICALLY said I wanted pullets, which he guaranteed both were.
He also said they were about 3 months old, which is the age I wanted.
I see these teeny tiny things and:
A) there is no way these tiny babies are near 3 months of age, barely 8 weeks if I know anything about chickens??
I took them anyways as he wasn't driving back home, what was I to do?
B) i am 95% sure one of them is a BOY!! Oh I am so
Could you please confirm my suspicions? They are both clean, seem healthy but boy are they shy and skittish
How old do you think they are? Look how tiny they are!
I'm sure Kiwi is a girl:
And I'm pretty sure Mango is a boy - neck feathers are black, comb and wattles already pronounced and quite dark pink... I can't keep any more boys!!
Suspected boy, Mango, on the left:
I'm so upset!! Now what???
