Yup!

Hiyo, I posted this in the rehoming section but I'll post it here as well for us Floridians. We are looking to rehome our 3 hens and 1 rooster that are about 10 months old. 2 hens are wyandotte, 1 is golden sex link and the rooster is wyandotte. Free to a good home. I can also throw in the...

Hiyo. We have 4 birds that need a new home. 1 Wyandotte rooster, 2 Wyandotte hens and 1 golden sex link. They are about 10 months old. We love em but they don't get along with our smaller birds and later this year we will be moving from Florida to Montana and I am pretty sure they won't want...

Update: The Wyandottes aren't laying. One of our young brabanters is laying in just 4 months and decided to use the other chickens coop hence the confusion.

It may not be a problem but if it was me I'd rather spend the time and little extra money to make it a non-issue.

Howdy, Back in April my wife and I picked up 3 black Wyandottes chicks from Tractor Supply. One of them ended up being a rooster and when I posted a pic of him as a cockeral someone said he didn't look like a Wyandotte, if I recall correctly. Fast forward to yesterday and we got our first...

@Frazzemrat1 @chrissynemetz @cstephens1987 Here is a headshot that includes the comb. I didn't realize there were comb types. Walnut or cushion? I guess this is turning into a breed ID thread now :) I can provide more pictures when I get home.

Lol, thanks. I didn't want a rooster but we are already attached so he is staying. Old name: Heather Flocklear New Name: RooPaul

Hiyo, I have a 9-10 week old Wyandotte from Tractor Supply that was supposed to be a hen but... 1. It is much larger than the other Wyandottes we got 2. It has large comb/wattle where the others don't really have them 3. This weekend I noticed it was starting to try and crow. I attached a...

Thanks for the help everyone. The chicks are all doing great even when I got home from work but we put them on electrolytes and corid anyway. I also installed the plexiglass which I don't think will affect them that much except that they see a reflection and are super intrigued by it. I like...

I'll talk to the wife about contacting TSC for replacements. I felt a lot of guilt that we did something wrong so I have been hesitant about the idea of getting replacements quickly and potentially sending more to their doom due to our ignorance. You guys have made me feel a bit better about...

Thanks :) I'll check our local farm supply for this today. Should the electrolyte go in a separate dish then the water? It's worth mentioning that I did note that some of the chicks seemed smaller then the others(10-15%?). Those might have been the ones that died so maybe they were weak...

Hello, my wife and I are raising our first batch of 6 chicks that we got from TSC about 4 days ago. They seemed to be doing well in that they would use the heater, eat food, drink water and spend time both under the heater and walking around. We checked on them before leaving for work...
