O did not sell him on purpose, the folks that got him had a kinda small cage for a bigger train so i snatched up one with a smaller train and i realized after they left that Patch was missing so i had them send me a photo and it was him, they offered to bring him back in a month or two but i refused that offer for various reason , they traveled a pretty good distance to get these birds. For those that did not know him Patch was the first egg i got here and It had a hole in it and i patched it with toilet paper and wood glue then i had to help him out cause he could not get out cause the patch was to hard, that is how he got his name I miss him terrible but it will pass in time and i will be left with his memory at least now i know i will not run over him now, silly boy. I hope the new owner will join the forum and keep us updated as to how him and his 3 girls are doing, i try to tell everyone that purchases a pea about this site but nobody seems to come but this time i gave out a BYC card so mabe some of these folks will start joining us on the forum, i know some folks just like to read and not participate.

I will try to keep y'all updated on Patch & his ladies. They seem to be doing relatively fine. I know they aren't happy staying penned, but it's just temporary. Before long they'll get to explore their new territory

Welcome to the Pea-Patch

We are going to need regular photographs of Zaz's little buddy so we don't go withdrawal.

We're so used to seeing pictures of all his traipsing about...

Glad you joined up, thanks so much!

Ok, I'll guess.  The ones with red rings are girls and the blue ones are boys.  

We bought three white chicks this summer.  We used the ring on a string and thought we had a trio.  Well now they are six months old and one is a LOT bigger than the other two.  He has a bigger head, neck, legs, feet, heck, he is just big all over.  They were all about the same size when we got them so we are fairly certain we got our trio.  

I learned the hard way that size does not always mean a boy or girl! When Peep was hatched he was almost twice the size of his sibling, as he grew he had the coloring of a BS male then about 5 weeks age all of HER cored feathers fell out and she was colored like my other BS hens. She is huge for a 6 mo hen!

By the way the smaller one is her brother which we swore was a female!

I believe the birds being discussed are now around 6 months old, so they are past the point where they will be fooling anyone. Unless a male has been very ill, or under-nourished they will be bigger than the hens by this age or very shortly anyway. When they are young chicks like the ones in Margaret's photo, they can very easily fool us....whichever is the most hearty eater will likely be the biggest, male or female.

And a zebra! Can you get one of those too?

Pealover130 really, really wants me to get her a camel. I did actually tell her it would be okay once we get moved to somewhere there's more room

If she sees your post about a zebra, she's going to want one of those too...

I think I'm drawing the line at the camel and a replacement horse, though... and it better not have black & white stripes.

That's exciting about the other Peas... maybe you can swap eggs or chicks? Wonderful!
