Almost 10 weeks old now, been in the 'nursery' run with mum for 3 weeks and coming on great. Nice little trio with one cock and two hens, I'll give it a couple of weeks and advertise them.
It's really interesting seeing how their markings are coming out, given their parentage of Black Pekin hens and a Lemon Pekin cock. Not sure what I was expecting to be honest but I am quite surprised that they have all got very similar patterns in their colouring.

Another one of the Bantam hens has gone broody, she is now sitting on 4 eggs and has been for 8 days now, so in around 20 days we'll have batch number two joining us.
