Peeps in Europe!

They are cute!! At least you got 2 hens! Are you going to keep the rooster?

For the time being he can stay. When he starts to make too much noise he has to leave.

If he starts to roost , I want to put him in a separate tiny coop, that is rather dark. It has an auto pop door I can set on a timer. So he can get out and crow after 8.30 am.
If it doesn’t work out as I wish, I hope to get a new home for him.

I haven't shown many pictures lately. My chicks are just about grown. The younger one still need some growth and the older ones are still working on feathering out. At this time I am planing for some shows and I am hoping the bird flu won't ruin everything.

eye candies!

Not easy to sex these Amrocks at all. It seemed I was wrong after all.

It didn’t show when the chicks were younger.
Could have guessed by the smaller spot on the pullets heads.

It seems the larger Amrock breed has clearer characteristics. The bantam are often a guess and often not autosexing as young chicks.
