I went and bought a pair of two week old pekin bantams and now they're roughly 7 weeks old. I was told by the breeder that they could possibly have a small amount of Belgian d'uccle in them, which I think is the case for the coloured one, at least. I have a couple questions about them which I've been wondering about.
1. How large are pekins supposed to be at 7 weeks? These two are tiny compared to all the other chickens I've raised before at this age. Even my previous bantams were larger than they are now.
2. Is it too soon to tell the gender of them? I think the black one might be a pullet and the other a roo but I'm not certain.
Here's some pics
They've had a pretty big day outside with my two silkie chicks and now they're ready to cuddle
