SEVEN WEEKS | 23RD OCTOBER 2024.

I have been away for 6 days so I have no behaviour change insights to share with you this week I'm afraid! But all other details below:

Patsy:

Got so many of her little dalmatian spots now... they seem to have come out of nowhere!

Comb has grown a bit and is still definitely U shaped. It still has a rounder lump at the top. It looks bigger in some pics than others... Crest appears rounder and tidier than the other two.
  • Weight at hatch: Approx 35g
  • Weight today: 224g
  • Gain this week: 50g
  • Total gain since hatch: 540%

Jacks:

Comb is still the smallest... but it has grown! It is narrower than the other two, but looks like it might have expanded a bit this week... kinda looks like a U at the top. Smoother than the other two... maybe a bump like Patsy appearing? Crest and face look messy AF this week... giving me darth vader vibes with all her quills 🤣
  • At hatch: Approx 24g
  • Weight today: 223g
  • Gain this week: 60g.
  • Total gain since hatch: 829%

Eddie:

Less peeping since I got back, so this is a plus! Less black spots than Patsy, she still only has a few small ones... Still the smallest by a long way.

Comb is looking more U now, but she certainly looks more pullet visually (I think anyway) and her behaviour with crouching, but STILL the chest bump champion of 2024. 'Her' crest is messy AF too...
  • At hatch: Approx 32g
  • Weight today: 164g
  • Gain this week: 27g.
  • Total gain since hatch: 412%

My thoughts:

I have none, I am at a loss with guessing LOL. I think I have two roos, but I can't decide who. I think if I had to put my money on it, it would be Jacks and Patsy... Patsy's comb is looking BIG... but Eddie is also giving me vibes sooo... Maybe three? Let's hope not lol
 
UPDATE:

I've ordered DNA testing which I am sending off by express post today.

Results will be delivered online within two days of being received by the lab (paid for express), so should know before the week is out!

If anyone's interested, I'll be sharing the outcome here.
