Cute !Love it!!
Hi Perkhens and
I hope someone else can help as I have only started with the breed this year.
I will say that they are feather out faster than any other breed I have worked with. Especially the wing feathers, about 2 weeks ahead of my heritage breeds and maybe a month faster than the Brahmas. My not-quite-4 week-olds were out for a visit last evening and unexpectedly one flew from my daughter on the couch over me and did a crash landing on the far side of my chair--over 6 feet horizontally! The only breed that has been close were my Wellies. Must be the Leghorn. Since they are about the same age as yours I will go weigh my chicks and if you can weigh yours you will have a comparison.
Cadbury is an awesome name! Post pictures!
ETA: Clara is 186 gms/ 6 5/8 oz, and Arthur is 231 grams/ 8 1/8 oz
Awww, she's very cute! My hubby looked at the latest two and remarked they were very ugly...in a gawkwardly cute sort of way. I think its the combination of the disproportionate feather growth and that fluffy crest.
My roo (13 weeks) and favorite girl (10 weeks).
She is definitely more gold instead of cream, but she has the best crest.
So glad you posted these. I have been told that my only CL is 'obviously' a pullet but no-one seems able to describe how they are so sure. Mine looks just like your pullet and is also 10 weeks old so I am now convinced (and very pleased!)
Does anyone know what sort of age they are likely to start laying?
