girlies lay eggs and boys like to play piggy back rides

u wont find out for a while yet, about 12+ weeks.
The hens are more vocal and the head on a hen is smaller. Stags redden up quicker.   (Just what I've got written in my book)

[mabel]

I like it Babe.  Lets hope they are girlies then because I cannot think what use a male one would be (story of my life - sorry chaps) as i wont be able to kill them.

[mabel]

Assuming they survive (one eating and one not) how long before they are "cat proof"

[Aunt Sally]

Do let us know how their legs get on Mabel  :!:

[Vember]

A  couple of weeks before cat proof i'd say, have you got crumbs for them ?? and they drink quite a bit

[mabel]

My neighbour gave me some food stuff which one of them is eating but the other not.  they have both had some water.  I dont have to feed them through the night do I? or do I just leave the food in the box with them.

[Vember]

If you pm me your address I'll pop this book in the post to you tomorrow, I don't need it anymore  

[mabel]

will do Aunt Sally.
