Belgian Malines Have Arrived!!!

[Shellz]

Got some pics of the 15 week olds.

Above is a nicely feathered pullet.

Here is Thor's brother. A very nice cockerel.

Here are the 2 biggest boys.

Another nice pullet.

Thought this one was overall pretty with the background.

Thor already has the stink eye perfected.

 

[Shellz]

Oh yeah, he sure does! I think he had it nailed from day one & ever since!
Ok, here are the 9 week olds!

Above is Mini Thor.

Here's another nice cockerel.

Above are 2 nicely feathered pullets.

The pullets are definitely a darker shade. Is that true for the breed?

 

[Shellz]

Yes, that is their auto sexing feature. The pullets/hens will be darker than the cockerels/roosters. It was also a cloudy day & some pics may appear they are darker than they really are.

 

[theoldchick]

Yeah, that natural light and computer monitors can really fool us!

 

[call ducks]

Very good looking birds Shelly, very good.

 

[Shellz]

Thanks! Protein getting harder to find now. Good thing I have lots of extra eggs to feed them.

Oldest group is 16 weeks old now.

So pretty! You'll be getting eggs in a month or so.
