My Nankin Bantam chicks

[Fluffy Lambs]

Oh my gosh, those are TINY and gorgeous!!!!

Thank you! they are the tiniest ever out of all the chicks I have. As small as they are they probably still look bigger in the pictures lol.

I thought I had three little pullets, well today I discovered I had three little cockerels. hopefully I get pullets from Connie in the spring.

I put my new leg bands on two of them, one I didn't because it's legs are to small right now.

Three little boys? I guess that's the penalty for hoping that you get a cockerel with the deep red color ... Zheesh! Murphy (of Murphy's Law) is working overtime! Post some new picks of your youngsters. Unless they're actually crowing, you may still be okay ... fingers crossed!

I might not be able to get close ups but I will try. At least not today, because they're out free ranging right now. They all have hackles, wattles, AND spurs!? I guess I think it's weird they have spurs because they're so tiny. 2 I know are cockerels but one I'm not sure about yet.

None of them are crowing yet though

Fingers crossed that #3 is pink, not blue ...

Me too! it is smaller than the other two, but I doubt that matters.

All chicks have spur nubs. It's just that roosters grow spurs in more often and it's pretty rare for hens to grow in spurs but they still live with the nubs. They look like normal spur nubs to me. I know nothing about sexing nankin bantams so you should just ignore me if you already know this! They are super adorable though!!

I think they're all roos though. Hackles, wattles, #3 doesn't really have the comb or wattles, but it has hackles. The spurs maybe have nothing to do with it, but I think it's the rooster spurs coming in.

Ok! If they all are then you'll have like 18 roos!
