gold laced wyandotte

Are Gold Laced Wyandottes carriers of the white gene? Out of 11 GLW chicks, one came out white. Did anyone else have this happen to their GLW hatch? They're from a reputable source, and there was zero possibility of mingling of the parents with any of the other chicken breeds. I was gifted the...

On this one I'm almost positive she is a hen because I also have 2 silver laced that are the same age and both have combs starting and one has a wattle and she has neither. I'll be posting them next to get opinions on if they could be roosters. Since I'm sure one of the straight run I had...

Hi all. I'm new to chickens and posted a while back about the sex of 2 gold laced wyandotte chicks I bought. They had totally different plumage so I thought one was a pullet and the other a roo - seemed logical 🙃. Now I suspect one may be a gold cuckoo marans or a cross between a GLW as the...

I have a GL Wyandotte in question. She has always been bigger than her other Gold Laced sisters and developed feathers and wattles/comb quicker than the others. I know that this is usually a sure sign of a roo, but I've also seen a couple on here that turned out to be hens. I noticed this...

Honey the chicken hatched on Boxing Day 2021. He/she is a Gold Laced Wyandotte. Honey has had respriatory issues since they were just a day old and as a result seems to have stunted growth. Honey is a bit smaller than his/her sisters and less filled out. They are not great quality wyandottes so...

Hi all, We’re really torn with this bird we originally thought it was a Pullet but now we’re convinced it’s a Cockeral can you help?

These guys are a few months old now, any ideas on what I have? Needing a few hens but I want to weed out any roos. I marked them numbered 1-6 and as long as pics post in order. #1 has a white band. I've been trying to sex them myself but I am having a really hard time 😂

1 of my GLW hens went broody and sat on nothing for 24 hours because I took 3 eggs out from under her, tonight she is back on the perch with the rest. I was hoping to place fertile eggs under her tomorrow but dont know that I should trust her now? Did removing the eggs take her off the brood?

I'm going to be getting five more chicks: an EE, a Green Queen (another type of EE), a Speckled Sussex and 2 Gold-Laced Wyandottes on the 25th of this month. I hope everything goes well, I'm kinda nervous for some reason 😅

Ordered all of them as presexed female one day old chicks. Have a feeling there’s a few roosters in the mix but they’ve got me stumped. Maybe a trained eye can help. My EE’s and faverolles were a breeze to sex; these two breeds, not so much. The gold laced Wyandottes are 11 weeks today and came...

Hi! New chicken owner here.. right now am worried that one of my two GLWs may be a roo.. I have attached photos of the roo in question and the other (circled in blue not green). The questionable one has a much pinker comb which makes me think maybe a roo, but I know it's early. No real...

Hello! Just a question for y’all Wyandotte owners, (more specifically gold laced ones) what is your chickens behavior? I own one gold laced Wyandotte, she is not a fan of mine, makes very strange noises if I manage to catch her and sits on top of the coop at night. I’ve heard other people say...

I'm 99% sure these two are cockerels, but we ordered sexed chicks so just to be sure... Gold Laced Wyandottes, just shy of 4 months old. The two in the front of this photo with greenish tails. No crowing yet. Generally very nice dispositions. They always defer to the older hens (we have a mixed...

Hi Everyone, I'm sure this has been asked before but I am at a complete loss. Last week I lost one of my beautiful Golden Comet Chicken. She had no injuries as far as I could tell and was completely fine that morning. At first, I thought she was just taking a dust bath as she was in one of her...

I’m starting a new post since my original one isn’t getting any responses at this time. Here is my 8-week old GL Wyandotte. I accidentally was given a straight run GLW instead of a female Black Australorp (I’m a newbie and didn’t know better). What are your thoughts?

This is my gold laced Wyandotte, I can’t tell if this is a hen or rooster, it is about 3.5 months old. Please help!

Hello all! Any input is appreciated. While buying my other Gold laced Wyandotte chicks, I got this one which was supposed to be the same. It is now 1/3 the others’ size, so I’m guessing a bantam got into the mix, but am unsure. It seems perfectly healthy and is a great chicken. The were born end...

A lot of people have said it couldn’t be done so wanted to share that our first of 10 duck eggs hatched and it was a cracked egg that we scotch taped on day 5 of incubation. He is now named Scotch :) If anyone in CT is interested in Cayuga babies let me know. Also- looking for Frizzle hatching...
