Meekle’s Blog – An Insight into Downsizing

As a test for fertility, i placed my Lavender Pekin cockerel in with my appenzellar cross hen. Incubated the eggs and out came a stunning little  bird. he/she/it is 4 weeks old tomorrow, being hatched on the 1st of April. I am very fond of this one as it was one of the first few to hatch. I also like the lacing effect to its feathers. i hope it gets them all over when all that black fluff is replaced. it will be a stunner. So, what do you get if you cross an appenzellar with a pekin – an Appenzekin of course!!!
