    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Nice enough ppl. Shipping eggs is not their thing. I managed to salvage about 8 out of 3 doz. The ones that hatched were a bit of a mess. They convinced me to drive 4hrs one way as they had just received a new line and sold me on the fact they were going to replace the 3doz and give me an...

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Last night I came across a post about what to look for in chicks and adults for breeding good lines. I'm not breeding, mine are just pets, but one of the things to look for in chicks is that the slower to feather, usually means better lacing. Sounds good to me. I'll stop comparing her to the...

    I am usually pretty good at wing sexing as I've done it for myself and several others without much error but the BLRW throw me for a loop. I have and have had chicks you would swear were Roos. Long legged, no tail, slow feathering, even feather tips on wing and red combs at 4wk that turned into...

    I I have a pair from Foley that tend to spin off lots of darker blues down to charcoal. Out of the last 28 I hatched 2 were splash, 4 were correct blue and the other 22 are jet black-dark charcoal laced. You'll know when you get a black, the head fuzz is generally black with a touch of red...

    I'd like to see that link. And it's funny you say that about the APA. I was wondering how long? I know Foley was working on it but they changed the rules recently. I noticed that on a lot of breeds there is only a handful of years between first expositions and APA acceptance, and then in most...

    I'm just getting going on Blrw breeding but the black lace are staying in my yard. Love the red and black colors together.

    I've also read that when chicks are determining sex they have both male and female reproductive organs. If something happens to one of them after sex has been determined the other organs will take over and you will get a hen who does not lay and might even start acting a little like a roo. I'm...

    I have a Blrw hen who acts the same way with yreats and is the head hen in her pen. Show bird who should be laying any day now for the last 2 months. My male is also very aloof as well. Big bird but lacks that rooster gusto if you know what I mean. I also have 2 SLW hens about 20 months I...

    Not good winter layers I'm finding out. That's ok the Reds and the S Sussex are making up for it.

    Not too far but 3 mo later I could only assume they are over it considering they rule their roost. From what I understand its a Wyandotte thing

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Unsure. Supposed to be 6-10 mo when I received them making them a min of 9 mo at the moment. Judging spurs on known age Roos I would say that 9mo is about right. Funny thing is that I got a flock of heritage Reds that are younger and laying like no ones business right now. The RIR roo is doing...

    I easily could but don't want to beat up on them. Too unnatural to me.

    Farmer Viola. She does look really good but the breeder had nothing really to say about her. He kept carrying on about the cockerel. I really don't know why. I know he's not selling his best so I always look at her trying to figure out where she is defeciant

    These were taken shortly after arrival well before the snow. My roo is a big baby. Brought another roo on the property about a month or so ago and the Blrw stopped crowing. He just crowed yesterday for the first time in weeks. Easy to pick up and hold. Hes a Good boy. Can't say the same for the...
