    my first chicken that i bought at a swap! what is is?

    I know it is a wyandotte but thinking it might be a blue laced red mixed with a gold laced. I also have no idea on the gender cause wyandotts don't have a large comb like my leghorn so i don't know how to tell what it is. Thanks in advance.

    I bought a new chicken but not sure what it is?

    its somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 to 8 weeks old i think. and i was hoping it was a hen but it is very gentle and doesn't fight with my leghorn rooster even though all my birds are only 7 weeks old so i don't know if they would even fight yet.

    I bought a new chicken but not sure what it is?

    I bought this little girl at a local swap and the man i bought it from said it was a cross of some wyandotts. Its very sweet and unlike my leg horns will let me hold her. Any guesses on what she is. I was thinking she might be a blue laced red?

    what would be the best breed to add to my flock?

    i was thinking about getting rhoad island reds since they are very easy to get and are pretty good layers and are hardy and a nostalgic breed. but my other choices would be a red sex link, a barred rock, or an austrathorp?
