I will not be breeding these given the problems. They will just be part of the layer flock.

Wyandottes do not have single comb.

Thank you Bo for sharing your experience. This is exactly what I needed. Legs/feet.... will have a look and post info. I know what I think they are, but want to be absolutely sure. Can I ask what the egg size is on your birds?? Am I off base crossing the blacks with supposedly bigger egg size...

At University of Maine at Orono, the sheep were coming down with pnemonia after a barn renovation. The answer was to open the barn. Made it very cold in the winter but the illnesses stopped. I hate tight barns. Learning to make a good shelter is a skill.

Yes, i know this. My question is still looki g for an answer. Can a black bird show some brown feathers ?

Thank you. I realize hatchery are not the best quality but need something to compare to in order to know what is normal. Growing birds go thru many stages that majes them look off but is just a growth stage.
