Your chick is cute. I think 'he' is a 'she'.

No, He is a he

 

don't quote me on this but i have feeling he /she is leaning toward being long flighted

not a mop by thoughs pics

ive had long flighted chicks and almost long flighted chicks they seem to be bit bigger and heaver in wings when small

 

ps your birds dont need to of been long flighted they could of carried the gene

 

So this chick isn't just a "ripper" ? Darn, I thought the cock bird must have some super genes in him

I am not really familliar with the term long flighted?

Hi S.& C, this may help with your query.

 

This is a picture of my long feather gene cock bird Ratty, taken while they are feeding young, then no 2 picture with his partner Cher. Didn't know whether to breed him or not.

They have rared 2 chicks of their own + 4 fostered.

 

 

 

 

 

This is his first chick out of nest into kindy cage.

 

 

I think it worked by breeding him to small hen it seems to have reduced long feather gene.

What do others think.
