I have silver laced and columbian wyandottes, just got some lavender chicks but too young to say how friendly they will be. My Silvers are probably my friendliest chickens next to my buff orphington and my white giant. My favorite hen penny was a silver laced and she followed me everywhere and...
I bought lavendar wyandotte chicks this year and as they are feathering out I am noticing that two of them have pinkish faces and two have more of a black/grey face and beak. Does anybody know if this signifies anything?
