    Pair Partridge Wyandotte

    I have 4 pair of of Partridge Wyandotte chickens for sale for $50 per pair (I will gladly throw in an extra rooster of same variety if anyone needs a spare with their pair). They are about 9 months old. I will also gladly trade one pair for a pair of BLR Wyandotte of about the the same age...

    Who has purchased eggs from ebay ? and what was your hatch rate ?

    I have found that the handling is not what ruins hatching eggs, its the flight. You have to shake an egg pretty darn hard to ruin an egg. I worked for the park service just out of high school, and my job was to find nests of endangered and near endangered birds that had been hijacked by cow...

    Who has purchased eggs from ebay ? and what was your hatch rate ?

    Fingers typing too fast:.......They sit longer in the NEST (not 'next') and eggs DONT scarmble all the easily.

    Who has purchased eggs from ebay ? and what was your hatch rate ?

    I know I'm new here and I hate to vent so boldy before anyone gets to know me, but I am so disgruntled with so many egg-shippers these days. Anytime I buy eggs, even on ebay, I ask them how they pack their eggs, then if I don't think its good enough, I offer an additional $10 on arrival, if...

    The basics of color......

    They are about 3-4 months old. I just got a new back of the same chicks in a month ago, and their patterns look a little different, so maybe they just sent the wrong ones the first time or something.

    The basics of color......

    Looking for pictures on the feathersite, I see that you are correct, the partridge rock are pencilled like the partridge wyandotte. I don't know what happened to the chicks I ordered this year from our local hatchery, but they are the brilliant deep red Partridge color (visually), but their...

    The basics of color......

    Ok. does it "turn off" the black expression in all black, or just on the pattern. ie: you've established that it turns off the black on laced feathers (turning black to white, visually), if the whole feather is black, will it turn the whole feather white, or just the portion of the feather...

    The basics of color......

    Ok, I'm getting there :-) LoL. Do you know of anyone that has a list online of the colors with their respective "codes"?

    The basics of color......

    splash blr (notice the "white" pencilling), they have splashes of blue, but are not an overall pale blue like the silkies you posted Salmon Wyandottes, (both photos courtesy of Rosalyn Serex from Feathersite). So, in these three colors (the two colors in this post and the one above) of...

    The basics of color......

    From Feathersite.com, courtesy of Shalom Sadon: a buff laced hen (not splash blr). reddish feather, outlined in white....supposedly "dominant white". So, the question is, is the reddish phenotype of the feathers caused by a red (as in the red/gold in our gold-laced wyandottes), or is it caused...

    The basics of color......

    PS, I don't have a clue what they meant by "dominant white lacing", I was just repeating what I read. But we were specifically talking about buff laced wyandottes that they have in Europe, the feathers look reddish beige, but where our golden laced wyandottes have the black on the feathers...

    The basics of color......

    I got the info regarding buff lacing actually being a gold or red colored bird with dominant white lacing instead of black lacing, instead of a buff colored bird with white lacing from the Wyandotte thread. Are you saying they are incorrect in that statement? Or is it different depending on the...

    The basics of color......

    Unfortunately, I'm not the typical type of student that can learn the same way everyone else does. I read the page, most of it I already know and what I don't already know, will take me hours and hours to disect it. I need the point, and only the point, before I can understand anything else...

    The basics of color......

    I know or have learned that 1. Blue turns black to blue and blue to white. No. Blue dilutes black. One copy of blue dilutes to blue; two copies dilute to splash. White is not a diluted colour. It is the absence of colour. So, if blue dilutes black, then it DOES turn black to blue...right...

    The basics of color......

    Ok, so I'm new and with thousands upon thousands of posts/threads available, I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for. And I use the terms I learned researching genetics in horses and dogs, so I apoligize if my terminology is a bit different, feel free to correct me. If there have...

    Has anyone ever crossed a Bantam Wyandotte X Salmon Faovrelles ???

    I'm new and making my way through interested threads. With 800-1000+ pages to some threads, it could take me a good while, lol. Anyways, I'm intrigued by this thread.....the wyandotte/salman Faovrelles look to be magnificent! I'm curious what color wyandottes were used. Does anyone know...

    Lost my BLRW cock, so now what to I breed my blr (splash) hens to??

    I already knew how the blue dilution worked, but that is an awesome chart for the layman, lol. The only one I'm not familiar with is the circle on the bottom right. The clear circle with dots in it is obviously splash, but what is the circle with the gray dots? I know that the splash comes in...

    Lost my BLRW cock, so now what to I breed my blr (splash) hens to??

    Thank you. My red laced roo is needing a break from ranging anyways...the guineas really tear him up, he has no tail feathers left, so I'm sure he would be pleased to be in a breeding pen for awhile, lol. I'm not as fond of the buff laced, but I do think a buff chicken with lacing would be...

    Lost my BLRW cock, so now what to I breed my blr (splash) hens to??

    Thank you for the response. I understand a black would be ideal, but my only options are the buff rooster or the gold laced. I have a blue, but he has a crooked beak, and I don't want a bunch of crooked beak babies, lol. Since Eggbid closed down a couple years ago, I don't even know where to...
