So Ive been giving my new birds lots of special care to make sure they are healthy. Ive given them antibiotics, dewormer (wazine) and lots of things like corn on the cob, strawberries and whatever little greens I find left over from dinner. I give them a little bread sometimes too. Dont worry, I am careful not to over feed the treats. lol
Ive already noticed a big difference in the 2 twins. I call them twins because they are both brown and both have no beaks. Their feathers are shinier and they preen more. They seem to be happy so long as the rooster is occupied elsewhere. He seems to be stressing them. He likes to micro manage them lol
My question is, when can I hope to have some eggs? I dont know if the twins are too young or not, or if they are both roos. Im pretty sure that one is a hen, but the rooster always seems to push her around. She cant get much peace with him, it might be preventing her from laying too. Ive got some pictures, one of the twins is much bigger and has a higher crest. The smaller one, who i suspect is a hen has a small crest and smaller stature. The larger of the two is fluffy like I see pictures of hens being, but its fringe is so tall I almost want to say its a roo.
This is of the one I think is a roo, he is bigger. He has just finished a strawberry, thats what the red stuff is. My son named it Crackers.
This next one is of the one I think may be the hen. We named this one Frightful.
