He was so gentle with them when he was butchering. He clearly loves his birds -- sitting there with one in his lap stroking it. Thank you so much for the link. It really demonstrates the difference from Campines.

Even though I don't speak Dutch, I enjoyed the video, @Drieslag. His birds are so pretty, and his butchering process is remarkably humane. Wish I had a setup like that...

Dries, that breed might explain the random white feathers that those bird you posted a whilago had. Maybe?

 

[Drieslag]

hm, don't know, there are about 80 years or more of seperation between the two breeds. I think it was just some sort of sport.

By the way, today we had our Campineclass. In an actual class room. Everyone paying attention?

 

[Drieslag]

Has anyone heard about mahony as a type of golden?
An Italian Campinist just told me that these roosters have a mahony factor making the gold deeper. More brown.

This is a link to the 1 week pictures of my Campine chicks. I'd like any feedback. Warning -- there are lots of them (43 pictures) with dups of all the chicks.

Thanks in advance.

My babies at 3 weeks (well, all but one of them -- I can't figure out who I missed) They are losing feathers and look pretty rough.. Comments?

Pretty sure this one is female.


What do you all think? This is a really small (compared to the others) chick.




I think this one (with the green leg tag) was crowing this morning (before I got the legband on them. Next time I'll be sure.




Girl?


Girl?


Pretty sure this is male:


I didn't get a good shot of this one.


Another male -- pretty sure.

Pretty sure this one is female. I can't see the comb, bu bet you are right...pullet.


What do you all think? This is a really small (compared to the others) chick. Hmmmm....it may have an issue, just watch it.


This is looking like a cockerel to me.....

Pullet

Girl? Cockerel? Could be either.


Pretty sure this is male: Agreed, cockerel.


I didn't get a good shot of this one. Yeah, Can't tell much here but if I had to guess...pullet.


Another male -- pretty sure. IDK, I'm thinking these last three are pullets

Hang in there, Sharol, in another two weeks, you will likely know for sure! Be patient!

Thanks for the input. I'll keep watching. I put the legbands on today when the chick crowed and I couldn't catch it to band it. Now when he crows (and he will tomorrow morning -- he went on for an hour today), I'll note the color and we are good.

You know me too well for someone I only know on the list. I have the patience of a lighted fuze.
