    What kind of chicks are these?

    I got these girls at my local feed store. Not big name store. I know I have a silver laced Wyandotte... Chick is supposed to be the same. Not thinking she is. Very docile temperament so far... They're less than a week. Feather pins on the wing r inky black. No Wyandotte markings on the...

    How can I tame a mean rooster?

    I tamed my boys by cradling them like infants. I wait till bedtime when they are in the coop. I have two six month old Roosters. One silky bantam and one SL Wyandotte. It takes time and work, but you need to be sure they understand you are the flock leaders, he is just there for the ladies...

    How can I tame a mean rooster?

    As I am reading through this thread, it reminds me that I am in no means an expert on Rooster behavior. I am a first time BYC owner this year and have a very young flock to include 1 SL Wyandotte Roo and one Silkie Bantam Roo. I also think I'm sort of unique in that I am very interactive with...

    Is it getting close?!

    I'm super new to BYChickens.....my first clutch. Hatched and homed in March. My Roo is really looking for love at this point and he's coming along nicely. I have two BSL that are getting very very rosey in comb and wattle areas. Not adept enough at raising chickens yet to understand the...

    Baby Wyandotte - Roo or Hen

    Just an update....You guys were 100% on the mark. Here's a more recent pic of him and over the last week I've seen the tell-tale signs of sickle feathers that have almost a peacock iridescence to them. Thanks for your help. God blessed me, as I was hoping for at least one Roo to keep my girls...

    Wyandotte - Hen or Roo??

    First time BY Chicken Rancher - Pics are of a 6wk old Silver Laced Wyandotte and I'm just wondering b/c the comb and wattles are so much more red than my 8wk old RIR and Black Sex Link, if I may just have a Roo. Happy either way....
