--At the weekend I decided Id have to sell my now 6 week Pootlets. 1 pair has gone to a friend where they will be treasured. I was going to keep the other pair but I decided I just cant have another breed/colour/size etc. Spent ages doing pics. , posting ads etc. on Sat. and Sun. Then last night I could not sleep ,fretting re them all night . Spent this morning cancelling ads. and attempting to make a Poot Palace this afternoon. They are TOOOOOOOOO cute to sell --they will stay here! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: All ideas of becoming a chicken sales woman quickly abandoned -no one is getting them! SO--- If anyone spotted my ad. at the weekend on numerous chickeny ad. places and felt tempted -then, tough you aint getting them!" ---p.s. for VP/Sue---Boris/ Seb x 2 junior are now audible amongst the depths of blue silkie broody plumage--no idea if/what is there yet!

ROS! I'm shocked-you were thinking of SELLING baby pootlets :o :o :o Shame on you,I could undersdtand you changing your mind about Silkies...........but pootlets.I'm so shocked I've had to pour myself a brandy, thank god you came to your senses and changed your mind :D :lol: :D .
No home is complete with out pootles running around :D .
 
Ha Ha Ros, just one colour of sablepoot? thats how I started and ended up with 5 colours of booted bantams!
Speckled Sussex are quite easy to sex, males wattle up very early.
Have (I think) just sexed the lemon millefleurs that hatched 4 weeks ago - 3 males and 8 females???
(Lydia please don't read this bit .... but do I sell or do I keep??) :D :D :D

:D LOL,well yes,but you sold them to me so that's ok ;) :lol: .If Ros had sold hers to me that would have been ok to............ :D .
 
Ros,I was deeply shocked at the start of your post,selling my sweet little poxed cousins.I thought you were a nice 'N.F.',then,my faith in you was restored,you changed your mind :D .You must get more pootlets,we look far nicer than badly made straggly feather dusters(Silkies)and are far more charming :lol: .
 
--Ha ,ha -having kept a pootly pair I sort of think more will appear!!!!! VP - you are a granny to 2 specks again-how do you remember all your grandchildrens birthdays? -- also 2 got pekins which I hope will be my 2nd generation of Creles (frizzled and plain) . ---These were 4 eggs 'just to test fertility' ha, ha. :lol: :lol: Also-re speck sexing, this may be a fluke but as well as combs etc the ones I cooked last year-the boys had much more white in their first feathers-- does this always happen or is it signisicant? Ros

Ros you cooked some of my boys :twisted: how could you, I am now upset my poor boys! The Creole pekins weren;t mine aswell???? :D
Yes speckled sussex boys have more white in tails for the first few months on 90% of the cases. I originally thought the males had more white on head upto 5 months but found this was not the case. All white disappeared and ended up with all pullets (3 out of 3).

There's always a home here for a few of them lemon girls, you've got my number Sue! ;)
My OH has been asking me what I'd like for my upcoming birthday, so I said how about some bantams & she agreed, now she won't be able to complain about them as I can just say "well you got me them!" :D

Ha , VP. Cooked as in hatched not cooked as in oven,!!!!!!!!! I am daft enough to have to find homes for all boys- usually here! No the pekins have been here for many years.Ros
