She has a smaller crest than a full silkie hen. Shes about 8 months old and is the same size as her mum who is 1/2 Silkie...

    Just sharing a pic of my Salmon Faverolles X Gold Laced Wyandotte hen. She's about 8 months old. She lays quite a large typically brown shaded egg. She has a funny flighty personality like her Salmon Fav mum. Her dad was the GLW. I really like her feathering shes very fluffy and is quite a...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte Thread!

    Thank you :) He is a really nice natured bird too. Was living with other young cockerals when I bought him. He's polite with the ladies and calls them for food bits he finds :) he's living amongst some of his chicks and bought day olds now. We have a mix of about 13 different breeds of hen...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte Thread!

    Hi, thanks for replying. We got him from poultry breeders. Heritage Farm in Waitakere Auckland, New Zealand. Her show birds were giants! I can't remember seeing her GLW but I saw her SLW and the Rooster was HUGE! Like a bloody turkey. I will definitely keep an eye on his size. He's still got a...

    Silkie thread!

    Hello, do I have a Cockeral here? We thought it was a girl but now I'm thinking boy. His name is Fruffy, I think he's about 16-20wks old? Pics taken today, his comb is quite a burgundy colour. Also white type of Silkie is he? I have spotted 2 black feathers amongst the white.

    Rooster or Hen

    Hiya, Is my white Silkie a Roo? Pretty sure he is. He's about 3/4 months old I think. In the last few weeks hic comb has gotten quite large and are a reddish burgundy colour. One of my hens really doesn't like him but gets he on pretty well with the rest of the flock, including my main 1yr old...

    Hamburg thread!

    Hiya. I was wondering if anyone else thought this chick could be a Hamburg cross? I wonder as it has quite large eyes. My Hamburg is silver pencilled I think. My Roo is a GLWyandotte. As my Roo is Gold and the Hen Silver, would it be a pullet? New to this thanks :)

    Hamburg thread!

    Hi again, thanks for helping me with this chicken mystery. My mum has never really warmed to her and thinks its a lesbian lol. But I think she is gorgeous, especially as she looks pretty enough to be a Roo. I have a few chooks that lay white eggs, but at the beginning we only had one light...

    Faverolles Thread

    Hmmm, I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about lol... Still confused haha. So do you think my chick pictured above is a Faverolles x GLWyandotte? It can't be a Silkie, and Fav is the only other chook with 5 toes?

    She had 2 sisters that I wanted but mum wanted a white pure Silkie instead, which is also cute.

    By black based I guess I mean a chicken that's mostly black. Like how wyandotte chicks hatch, as little black chicks.

    Faverolles Thread

    It appears more bearded than the other chicks. I thought that was the case with the black chicks. But this chick has five toes. I only have 4 hens with 5 toes. 1 Salmon Faverolles 2 Buff Silkies 1 Black Silkie (has brown) If not Faverolles, could the Silkies be the Mum? I thought they would...

    Faverolles Thread

    Hi :) I just got really confused by a chicken colour calculator I played with. It said that my faverolles x my GLWyandotte would create a black based chick. I thought that these yellow ones would be white hens, but that was impossible with my hens. So I thought well maybe they're blue based as...

    Hamburg thread!

    Yes I just have one Hamburg, we have had many days when every hen has laid an egg, which I thought included her? Especially as she/or he was one of the first 8 we got. Do Hamburgs lay white eggs, very white? And smaller sized? I have never seen it try to mount a hen, but now that I think about...

    Hamburg thread!

    But she lays, I've seen her nesting and she lays a smallish white egg? I thought it looked like a rooster, but it lays, has never crowed, and doesn't fight with my GLWyandotte roo? Only displays hen behavior. ? Are you sure? Her comb is large, but she lays! Whaaat?
