dannyboy2012 63 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Hi all these are my recent fledglings from my cfw pair. The only pair that i can get too breed, i dont know why as im doing the same with all my birds. Chick 1 Chick 2 Any idea what sex these are, as i have only ever bred a cfw hens from a split pairing. Any comments appreciated. dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyn 534 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Dan, Nice chicks mate. I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to sex of chicks at this age from a CFW x CFW pair cos they could be either. I had CFW cock x Normal Hen so knew what the chicks would be because of the sex linkage back to parent cock. Might be more experienced members who could tell though. We'll have to wait and see. Well done though!. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy2012 63 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 HI andy thats whats thrown me off as i have never seen a cfw cock youngster out the box before, only a hen and i got told the hens have more black colouring in the head, but not having anything different really between them im not the wiser. hope they are cocks tho as i have 2 quite nice looking hens for them. dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dannyboy2012 63 Report post Posted July 25, 2013 Lol will have too try two cocks and see what happens lol, I know one cock has lost its song I dont know why or when but when I moved them from the house too the shed its never sung since, so that's one problem but the other ones just never seam too give full eggs, so im seperating them and try them with different partners.
