So, apart from a wyandotte bantam crele project, I have also started another little project.
(For some reason I like colours that have not been recognized by our national federation yet...)
I put a wyandotte buff barred or lemon cuckoo rooster (is there a difference?) with a buff wyandotte...
Hello, what do you breeders think is the best way to breed buff laced wyandotte bantams? Here in Belgium it is a colour that is unfortunately getting rarer. Take into account that I only have space for one small flock, let's say 1 × 4 or so.

Hi there, these Wyandotte bantams are about 7 weeks now. I have 14 in all, but these 6 keep me puzzled somehow. I keep doubting about their gender. What are your guesses?
Hello everyone, I'm new here. I live in Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. I've had chickens for about 6 years now. Since last year I've begun to breed Wyandottes on a very small scale. So, I'm gradually learning more and more about chickens. Currently, I have 10 Wyandotte bantams and...
