After three unsuccessful attempts my pair of Pekin Robins have produced a robust thriving baby Pekin.
The pair went down immediately on another three eggs but I believe they knew that they had to recover from the stress of bringing up a family (of one!) and discarded the chicks two days after they hatched. The hen was last years bird so she now has the hang of bringing up a family . So I am expecting more next year – fingers crossed!
Congratulations on your beautiful robin chick hope we have success eventually thanks for your advice
Hi Sharon
Great to hear from you on the BKA web site
We would just like to say a big thankyou to Malcolm who has given us loads of advice and help along the way with our pekin robins we now have 2 babies flown the nest at 11 days old and doing well so far a massive thanks
Well done to you both, shows just the reason I joined the BKA working together we can do so much more, which will improve the way we look after our birds, that they are happy to breed.
