uktitan 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Greetings, I'm in need of some Help Sexing my Shamo..I bought them at day old and was told they were both females, but Now they are 10 weeks old I'm beginning to wonder is they really are both females. The reason I'm a little concerned is I'm not aloud to keep cockerels where i am. Here is Shamo 1 and the one in beginning to think is a lil Fella Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uktitan 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 This is Shamo 2 and the one I'm hoping is a female. sorry the Second pic is a little fuzzy, this one does not like to stay still lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patterdalejoel 669 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 cock then hen. would be concerned about how pure they are, the little cocks legs are a bit short to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uktitan 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Wow thanks for the Fast response. So you agree with what i had thought then, the one i thought was a lil boy IS a little boy. Im glad that the one i had hoped was a girl is a girl because she is So sweet, she gets on with everyone Her Best friends are two millefleur pekin called Speckles and shrub LOL I do agree though that the boys legs are a little short though. I am not to bothered about the purity of the little girl, as long as she is healthy and happy that's all i care about, I wont be breading from her.

charlie nelly1 142 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 fill the run with wood chips or sand to help keep it dry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mez 11 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 If you're running her with softies, be careful...once she starts to mature she will (should!) start throwing her weight around and them Pekins cant run very fast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uktitan 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Pekins not run fast? I must have mutant Pekin then LOL, them like buggers are like Grease lightning LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uktitan 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 all my girls are very placid and will just fall into line and wont challenge her..Im guessing that she WILL fight to be head hen, the current head hen doesnt do any of the fighting, Her Second Summer does..She's the only one im worried about, Coz if the shamo has a go at her, Summer will have a go back and summer doesnt back down, so that could get nasty. But the Others nah not so much..they will just fall in line and do as they are told lol, they are a bunch of old softies. you think they will all be fine together if they dont challenge her?
