The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

[chick rookie]

Thank you! She is gorgeous, but very skittish. I hope she calms down once she starts laying!

Mine are bad. they didn't used to be, when they were chicks in the house I always handled them, I thought they like it cause they would wait on me at the brooder door to ride around house, but after they got old enough to go outside and free range they wont let me near them, wont even come when called at feed time????? IDK ????

We bought some SLW this year. They are so cute! Here's a picture of our rooster captain.

This our hen jay.

This Captain (formally Catherine) as a chick.

This is our other hen badger.

I have 2, 18 week old Silver laced Wyandottes, one with a rose comb and one with a straight comb, also their tail feathers are different, I have been assuming one Rooster one Hen. As one has a longer tail feather. When I look at pictures of SLW, my "roo" looks nothing like the roosters. He looks like a hen with a long tail feather. My question, when to the roosters develop the long neck feathers and saddle?

Not sure. Why don't you post pictures and ask just to be sure.

Suspected Roo on the top of the picture


Suspected Roo, has rose comb further away. But he is the same size and and his legs and feet are the same size.

they look great, i only wish they were near by

i'm guessing the shipping plus shipping boxes would be a small fortune

Quote: the one furthest to me I think is a roo.

Here's my little SLW and her incubation sibling ( tolbunt polish. ) got them some outside time for pics but it was to hot so only stayed out a few mins as the littles began to pant almost immediately
