Can anyone think of any objects that's a chick could climb on apart from what's in the pic x

Yes, the BM looks like a little cox. Very cute!

Yeah we think its a cockrel too but we're gonna wait and see for a few more weeks to decide weather whether or not to keep it if it's Defo a cockrel. I've still got my fingers crossed tho lol xx

My Pekin bantams feathered out at exactly the same rate whether they were boys or girls. Watch the wattles - by 6 weeks old our boys had huge wattles and combs whereas the girls had none.

Pullet 6 weeks:

Cockerel 6 weeks:

Oh right....thats good to know thank you. So i guess its just a waiting game then. To be honest I don't know if they all the same age! The Millie hasn't even got any pins coming she's still just fluff apart from her wings. Where the other 2 have very little fluff and loads of feather... xx

 

[emmaellis111]

Probably a stupid question but on my Millie chick her wing feathers seem to point out alot. Where the other chicks go to a point by there bottom ? Is This normal . It just made me a bit curious. X
