Ugly 5wo dinosaur! 2 females and five males... visual sexing for these bantams have been very much on point It looks like they’ll be a little on the larger side for banties, we’ll see.

What do you do with the ones you dont want?

Paint is ready to lay eggs again, lol. She is in dire need of a bath also... I won’t have time for it until thursday, so will probably wipe her down for now

I find it funny how they’re still trying to fit under her...

Paint’s laying again, 2 months after her last egg


The kids went to the coop without her last night, I’m curious to see if she’ll wean them now.

At what age do you think they will “rehome” best at? I posted one for 5 weekolds and no responses yet

Yay!

We normally post them when they are like a couple months but I am sure that someone will answer to you.

They still like to follow her around... until bed time. Then they’re in there first

Paint’s always been the bed time straggler

That d'Uccle

Somehow I've never come out with a male d'Uccle from any of my hatches.

How old is the d'Uccle? Kind of looks like my POL pullets. I'd be suspecting boy if pretty young.
