Im thinking on ordering glw,slw, & the columbian wynadottes is this good does any1 have any opinions? I plan on getting 6 of each 5 hens & 1 rooster.

Are you getting them for breeding? If so I would order at least 2 roosters in case one doesn't make it or is poor quality

It depends what you want to do with them.... and where you got them from. If you want some good brown egg layers that are pretty colors and patterns....they are a great choice.... If you want to show them...hatchery stock rarely produces large fowl that are show winners...I would get them from a breeder that just raises..Wyandottes and has won with their birds...if you want to show them. I love the Columbiam wyandottes..... good choices!

If you cross a GLW rooster with SLW or CW hens you'll get red sexlinks... Just a thought!

I just want them for eggs and just to have!

Agreed, always buy more than what you want to end up with at the end. That helps cover you incase a few dont make it and it helps you pic the best quality ones and sell the extras.

Sounds wonderful!

I'm not sure, though, if you'll need all three roosters for fifteen hens for just flock purposes.

But I've only ever had one, so I really don't know.
