May 31, 200915 yr is their a reason why they looked so stretched out? mine look nowhere near as long as them lol their dad is long Ahh so thats why what effects will that have on the chicks? like example will it be only the cock-bird's that are long or will it spread to all gender's?
May 31, 200915 yr All the chicks should be longer in length, though it is not 100 guaranteed. It is like if you had one tall parent and one short parent. You could get the height from one parent.
