Horse Triplets. Hatching on 3/27

[Kiki]

Good Morning All, hope to be able to join the fun this evening. Just have to figure out where everybody is hanging out! Hope all are doing well and that I can catch up with all my peeps this afternoon. I really miss my BYC time.

We are still hanging out in the balut thread.

I still think they're colts...

Are they too small to eat now? They look bigger than my quail.

Are they too small to eat now? They look bigger than my quail.

I'd say yes, most likely. Because they're still juvenile they're not going to have the muscle development that a mature quail would have. even if they're the same size. Especially since neither of them appear to be meat birds.

Can I fatten them up quickly?

Can I fatten them up quickly?

Not really, you could start feeding the broiler ration. They would be best done in between 12-14 weeks.

 

[Kiki]

7 weeks

Yellow legs looks like a cockerel to me. Not sure about the other yet.

Mr. Yellow Legs has an attitude problem.

Mr. Yellow Legs has an attitude problem.

He also has green in his tail.


No doubt. He will never lay eggs.

I can't believe how dark they both turned out. Very pretty birds. Probably both boys, heh.
