Hello,
I have here eight little Pekins, of which I'm fairly certain four are hens and four are cocks. I have some people interested in having a few of them, but obviously don't want to sell them 'hens' that turn out to be boys! Any second opinions would be much appreciated. The oldest three were hatched 17th May, the other five on the 20th May, so they're all about five weeks old.
These are the four I think are hens:
And these four are the candidates for cocks. I know the pictures are not the best. The just don't keep still. These four all look like the father, who is a white Columbian, if that makes a difference, whereas the hen mothers (they all laid eggs under each-other) are black with gold necks, cream, and columbian.
Close ups of the supposed "cocks" with their little party hats:
And here are close-ups of the 'hens':
Sorry to trouble you guys with this. Let me know what you think!
