Afternoon all :D

Well the chicks are getting big now and making soooo much mess, its driving me crazy! :lol: Cant wait for them to go outside now, though I think I will miss them if I'm honest and will be spending more time at the bottom of the garden than indoors!

The run is up but thats it so far, the house hasn't been sorted but I'm hoping the other half will crack on this week and get it done by the weekend. We've chopped some branches off the apple tree in the garden and are going to use them as perches and then its just adding the wood chippings and we're done! :D Do you think we need to treat the run and house for redmite before putting the girls in?

I'm slightly concerned about the size of the mesh on the run, I'm not sure if its too big and the peks will be able to get through it. I'll take a piccie later and post it to see what you think.

I'm not sure what the chicks are up to as they seem to change everyday and I'm constantly changing my mind what sex they are! One that we all thought was a girl last week has now got a very red comb and wattles, does this mean she's a he or a she? I'll post pics later so you can have a proper look.

Ria :D

No!!! I agree it looks that way though. The 4th one in the picture is the one we both thought was a girl last week!

I'm going back to the breeders' at the weekend to see what she thinks, and possibly doing a swap on the boys, though I'm gutted at the thought of giving them up now but not much I can do about that. :(
 
Just wanted to update on the chicks, out of these 4, 3 turned out to be boys and have gone back to the breeder.

The pics go boy, boy, girl, boy. The only girl is absolutely lovely and super friendly. She jumps up onto my lap as soon as I sit down in the run, I'm dead chuffed she was a girlie!
