I love the pekin x dutch Very Happy

how many chicks are you going to hide from your mum this year? Wink

yep ALL mine, but the pekin x dutch chicks (3 of them) are gonig to new homes soon. will only have mummy. want to hatch a few of them out this year, for final test, to check they breed completely true, and decrease pekin gene completely, and also add some mroe ducth genes to them.

mmm dunno about another increase. with bird flu, am slightly worried bout over donig it. so instead of hatching ltos of chickens, it will mainly be ducks. drakes dont fight like cockerels do, so easier to contain, plus you can rehome them with a rgeta deal less hassle. Laughing

but dad said i can keep a duckling, hehe. and no doubt a few chcikens will slip into the equation..

They are real nice birds, what are you going to call your new breed Pekin x Dutch ? Pedue or Peutch or Dutchpee hehe Laughing

How long has it taken you to get them true? I think all your birds are great
