Emmy 528 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 That's amazing Richard that all of them have survived. They look really healthy chicks too. Does the older one still go in the nest? Thanks for posting those lovely photographs Its true what they say isnt it 'A picture speaks a thousand words,' Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmy 528 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 The opposite is happening with my young this time. Its mostly cock birds. The bad thing i've done because last time round it was nearly all hens , I've sold quite a few of the hens , thinking that it would even out the numbers of hens- cocks. Beginning to think they do this just to annoy us This time it seems to be taking a bit longer for them to colour up. The only thing I am pleased about I did get 2 CFW cock birds and thats a first been all CFW hens before. Looking forwards to seeing another photograph of them when they are a bit older. Emmy.
