What Color Will These Be?

[lobo307]

can anyone tell me what colors these will be? they are 2-3 weeks old.

 

[DMFarm]

They are blackshoulders.

 

[lobo307]

is that good? im new to peas, bought six at a local sale for about 12 bucks each. also , how fast do they grow?

 

[DMFarm]

That a good price but they are still babys and they still need heat. I would get the out of the chicken pen and put them in a broader or they want make it throught the night.

 

[lobo307]

the hens they are with, hatched them and are keeping them warm. they think they are the mammas.

 

[deerman]

get them on a medicated starter 20% or near that. agree blackshoulders , now thats a pattern, looks like blues....(black specks) bs come if lots of colors.

 

[lobo307]

they are on nutrena medicated 27% gamebird, is that too much?

i also wanted to put them in my 2000 sq ft flight pen with some quail in a few months. do they carry croyzia? i do have another much smaller pen, house is 6x10 and run is 10x10, will that be sufficent when they are grown?
