Malay Chick Growth Thread

I had 5 cockerels, & two pullets.

I traded two cockerels for two pullets from a breeder.

Hmm. That wing sexing really works, huh? Those five cockerels must’ve been that .1 percent.

They’re pretty birds. Nice colors and body shape.

I was new using the method with Malays, so I tend get more wrong on breeds I've never sexed before.

Thanks, he's also very hefty.

Trying to figure out what color leg bands I should mark the Malays with.

The Malays turn 9 months, on January the 1st.

Let's hope everything stays peaceful between them. So, far other then hormones that have kicked in, no fights have broken out between the boys.

(Edited to correct hatch date: They hatched April 1st, so the first of January they're 9 months old)

The Malays are officially 9 months old.

My youngest, the Red Wheaten started laying recently. Now waiting on the other 2 pullets to start laying.

Got more Malay chicks to add to the thread. These three I hatched recently. They're turning 1 week old on the 12th.

First update coming today, I've got some interesting colors this time. They were hatched from my flock.
