    Temp transition help

    To me, 4-1/2 weeks seems a bit early to expose chicks to that kind of cold. Even 65 degrees seems a touch cold to me. For my chicks I followed the 5 degree per week decrease in temp until they were mostly feathered out. At that point, they were on their own. Granted, it wasn't getting down to...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte sexing

    My guess is pullet. I base that only on the assumption that the SLW I recently rehomed was indeed a roo (you can see pics of him earlier in this thread), and compared to your pics, he looked much more roostery. At two months, he had big red dangling wattles and a bright red comb, both of which...

    Portland, Oregon: SLW cockerel free to a good home

    Also, I am heading out to deliver my guy to his new home tomorrow afternoon. If I'm not mistaken, the other couple lives close to where I'm going. That said, if you act fast, it's possible I can deliver your guy at the same time (cause it's kinda far). Let me know. Either way I'm pretty sure...

    Portland, Oregon: SLW cockerel free to a good home

    I think I have a home for him. Is contacted by a nice elderly couple who really wanted my roo. Unfortunately for them, I had already promised him to someone. If tiu still have him, I would be happy to call the people and forward your info. They would be absolutely thrilled I'm sure. I told the...

    Scale of 1 to 10: How much of a cockerel is this?

    Sent from my XT926 using Tapatalk 2 You are not disturbed by the wattles? And does nothing about the feathering suggest roo? I ask because I don't really have a clue but am hoping for a pullet!

    Portland, Oregon: SLW cockerel free to a good home

    Given the behavior Petrie is exhibiting ( mainly taking care of his lady) I am increasingly certain he is indeed a he. I really want top find him a home where he can 1) live, and 2) take care of some other ladies. Anyone? Sent from my XT926 using Tapatalk 2

    Silverlaced Wyandotte and Delaware Roosters wanted

    I have an almost 11 week old SLW that is looking more and more like a rooster all the time. I would like very much to have him (if it is a him) end up somewhere that is not a soup pot. Not sure about what shipping would cost, but provided its not ridiculous and you are interested, I would be...

    Portland, Oregon: SLW cockerel free to a good home

    This is Petrie. We are currently not 100% on the sex, but we wanted to start looking for new homes earlier rather than later should Petrie turn out to be a roo. We have had several offers from friends to make soup... But given our attachment to the little bugger we would rather he go to a home...
