Malay Chick Growth Thread

This one looks pretty nice!

Yep she does. She's also my first Splash Wheaten pullet.

Decided, to put this boy on the butcher list.

Reason, I don't like his body type. I love his color, but his body is all wrong.

His sister Big Fatty, is gonna be kept back as a layer, & probably used to breed meaties.

Will get updates later today.

Looks like a Malay cross. He's pretty though.

Possibly, though hard knowing 100%.

He's Wheaten, Duckwing Split. None of the birds in the coop are Duckwing based that the Malays are in. Only Partridge based, or Birchen based.

Notice the irregular dark/black spots on the head? That's indicative of partridge genes.

@nicalandia confirmed the chicks(Both) Stripy ones are of Duckwing/Wildtype.

That's what made me think partridge, but I had to double check with a genetics friend.

Forgot the updates yesterday. Will try to squeeze them in today. We have scattered thunderstorms today.

Late updates.

They're 10 weeks old.

Big Fatty still isn't the long legged majestic bird I hoped she'd be.
