The First Hatch

The Bantam Pekins have hatched 5 chicks:



The chicks are now 3 weeks old and  go outside in the run each day. The Pekins share mothering duties.

  1. The chicks were not from my Pekins as I don't currently have a cockerel. Fertile eggs were kindly donated by two friends in the village who have cockerels in their flocks.

    The chicks will be cross breeds, we should call them "Furneux Greys" and "Furneux Yellows".
