I've had my Columbian Wyandotte since May of 2011. The Columbian color pattern can be maintained by selective breeding. Using the Standard of Perfection as a guide for form and expected quality of meat and egg production, I've been able to successfully maintain the breed. Not all birds are...

Could he be a cross between Jersey giant and Plymouth Rock? That would explain both size and yellow legs. I raise Wyandotte and have no issues with frostbite, they lay in winter, carcass is hefty and the meat is tasty. In addition the hens make great mothers, the roosters are protective and...

I like your first choice of the Red Ranger rooster. Both have similar body type, tail, breast...single comb, same color legs. The red will give a nice color variance...

Beginning to decide who goes into the breeding pens. Thirty five Columbian Wyandotte are going into spring. I have a few photos on the iPad. Will have to get on the computer to load a few more photos.

Not going to ask about fermenting feed...I am interested in where you went fishing to catch that beauty in your avatar!

@DesertChic. It is hard to process some of those older birds that became our favorites. But those sacrifices must be made for the benefit of the breed pens and the pocketbook. Yes, we will eat well this winter.

Past two days, I've butchered the extra roosters and canned the breasts and thighs, froze the legs and wings and made broth from all the bones. Still have one more group to process before moving to the duck pens.

Getting rain in August...way out of norm...but the grass is getting green. Birds are free ranging and loving the break in temps. Several hens are broody and sitting on eggs I've given them. And the juvenile Columbian Wyandotte are growing nicely with more ready to go to the grow out pens...

I'll be butchering too since we have a break n the temperatures this week.

Here is my rant for the morning: This early summer has been hard on my flocks. The weather has been cooler than normal and the spring rains provided a nice environment for the raccoons and coyotes to produce bumper litters. Until now we have only had a few losses over the last 17 years to a...

Welcome to a great thread. No question goes unanswered and duscussion is so helpful.

With our red clay in Oklahoma, horticulture division suggests adding gypsum to soften the clay along with aged compost that incorporates shredded leaves and grass clippings. I also double dig when I turn my 12 inch high raised beds.every other year. This opens up the clay under the beds to the...

Wondered how you were doing after seeing a newscast on your heat wave!

Just set 84 large fowl eggs in one tray in th cabinet incubator/hatcher and 37 bantam eggs in a Hovabator. And moved 42 eggs due June 2 to the hatcher a day early because a chick was hatching in the egg turner! The temp was right at 100 degrees. Temperatures have been really wonky here this...

Pm me your address and I'll mail you a few layena sacks that our mineral comes in.

The White Wyandotte and the Chocolate Barred Orp both brooded some of the chicks. The older Columbian Wyandotte hen was being chased by a young cockerel, so I picked her up and put her in the brood room. She immediately started calling chicks to her and tries to cover about 15 juvies each...

A few of the 50 Columbian Wyandotte and Cochin juvies with the three hens who are raising them.

Going to put my two Naked Necks with a New Hamshire Red rooster to get a few more nn. Thank you @Fire Ant Farm
