    Silver Laced Wyandottes - Pullets or Cockerels?

    These would have been just over 3 weeks old! But I could see the same sort of feather growth at about 2 weeks old.

    Silver Laced Wyandottes - Pullets or Cockerels?

    That's brilliant! You have been lucky so! :) It must be a feathering trait that pops up now and then amongst some of the wyandottes! I am going to try and incorporate those genetics into the rest of my flocks of SLW so that I can really get things going! :)

    Silver Laced Wyandottes

    Hello, I have started hatching a couple of batches of chicks. But some are reaching an age where I am just guessing. I have a few photos here, of the first three I have hatched this year on the 2nd/3rd of June putting them at seven and a half weeks old. I think I may be lucky and have two...
