Got home too 2 more!
From Kaneki and Crackers
First clutch hatched from these 2 so cannot wait to see how they progress! Especially that little Tri pin!
They look so pretty
Couldn’t be happier! Especially that the little tri has white like that already, spit of mum!
But big head like dad!
For sure going to be some hard decisions this year…
Bad side to breeding for sure
I don’t know how you do it, nor do I know how I will ever make that decision
It takes months to grow them up and choose, and even then it’s hard. I finally let go of Clementine as I didn’t have the right Male for her. She is a massive 11 month old and already laying, but I ended up keeping her younger sister back instead. This is the first year where we’ve had a lot of females laying! Last year we only had 2 males breeding and 2/3 females, This year 8 males and 11/12 females. So it’s a lot more and even harder. All I know is what I’d like outcome wise out of the pairings but then we get surprises like above and then it all changes. Hoping the tri is a female but knowing my luck will be a male Though been really female heavy so far so we shall see when I first check pores (5g).
Fingers crossed but it’s just typical, that’s the only problem with breeding Cresties, you don’t know what sex they are straight away, just seems to be a waiting game for everything
Oh I know,
Not like Leo’s or fat tails where you can incubate to try determine sex.
All part of the fun though I think!
Big Mama has only produced 3/4 males in her 4 years of laying so wondering when that will change
Month update. They will not fire up and I’ve been trying for 40 mins now! But they’re cute either way
Typical Cresties
Very cute
Oh I know. Even the tub with water didn’t work!
They are so cute
They are precious!!
