we have a buff Orpington, brown leghorn, and buff Brahma for the Roos the we have the partridge rock, barred rock black australorp, buff Orpington, lavender Orpington, and GLWs and BLRWs for the hens but I don’t think that the chick would be from the Wyandottes since it doesn’t have a rose comb
This year was the first year that we have roosters and could have babies of our own, so I couldn’t resist letting my broody hen sit on some eggs! We hatched out four little nuggets and it has been a fun game trying to figure out who the parents are since none of the eggs hatched belonged to the...
So next day update: Baby in front is the one who needed help and it seems to be doing well. Definitely the little runt but I’m hopeful it will still do well

Your guesses sound pretty accurate to me. And the only thing I could contribute to the gender would be with that first one being a girl with a BR mom like you said. I’m planning on hatching some babies in the spring too and I was wondering if you could post a pick of your older SLWxBO because...
Hey y’all! I have another cockerel that I’m giving away. He’s a Silver Laced Wyandotte 17 weeks. I was hoping to keep this one, also a boy I got by mistake, but he is very protective of his girls when it comes to my other two roosters. I was actually surprised how he stood his ground against my...
