RiR gender

[Chuckkeeper]

Hi
Here's is an update. It's two weeks since I last posted this one and people were quite mixed

She was apparently 7wks when she came to me (I think she was younger). Based on this 7wks, she would be 15-16wks now.

Thanks

Roo, very stunted? What do you feed? Your LS was the same.

The RIR is 2kg and the LS is 3kg. They've been on growers pellets since they came to me 9wks ago. This was them (supposedly!) at 7wks.

Looks like a stunted cockerel to me too.

Thanks. I hope it's not something I've done wrong

Hmm, then the problem was not likely with you. It's strange. Mine were fully feathered at 6 weeks, and one was indeed a Sussex. I think they were fed cheap layer pellets before you got them. It creates stunted growth and problems with reproduction, so it would make sense that combs and roo feathers were stunted.

Thanks for explaining. Will they be OK?

Likely, yes. But they may never be ....what’s the word....un-stunted?
