golden laced wyandotte

We have 13 new chicks that are about 6 weeks old. I am suspecting that the ameraucana and golden laced Wyandotte might be roos. Would you mind giving me your opinion?? The ameraucana is bigger than all the others. S/he is sweet and non-aggressive although very independent (which is our...

Hi all! So I recently got a 5 month old Rhode Island Red mix rooster named Harvey from a rescue. He’s a very sweet rooster. He’s nice with people and the hens and is not aggressive. I introduced him to the hens yesterday and they largely ignored him but he tried his best to win them over. Today...

Hi all! I wasn't sure what what category to put this thread in so I just put it in this one. I'm interested in entering one or two of my hens in a poultry show. They are both very beautiful and have the right temperaments for it, I think. They are a Buff Brahma and a Lavender Orpington. I have...

Hi all! I have a Golden Laced Wynadotte hen that has been being bullied by my other hens (Buff Brahma, Barred Plymouth Rock, Lavender Orpington and a Partridge Olive Egger) They have been pecking at her feet until it draws blood and she is limping heavily. They also sometimes grab at her neck...

Hi! I have a silver laced wyandotte i recently got along with a silkie who had a broken leg. both are about one week old. the SLW loves to sing, though. I got her because i wanted the silkie to have a companion as she's probably going to be disabled for her whole life. i'm worried because she is...

Hello! I need help sexing my 6 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte. She/He was very outgoing from the start- liked to jump on my hand and peck at me. Super duper curious. Started out at the bottom of the pecking order but now they are all (I have 4) starting to mature and things are changing...

Hello all! I have recently decided to build my backyard chicken run! Woohoo! While this is a super exciting time, it's also really stressful because I want to do everything right to ensure that I have a happy and healthy flock. Here's my sitch: I live in Minnesota- which means winters reach 30...

This is Paco, my Light Brahma Rooster. We got him from a friend at a few months old after our rooster, Pollo, grew mean. He has six Light Brahma hens in his flock and is the sweetest guy! He loves to eat out of your hand and pouts if he does not get to, loves to talk to people, and is a super...

So, while my babies are still just 4.5 weeks old and I'm impatiently waiting to post new photos of my suspected cockerel... now I'm coming to terms that Caramel may indeed be a boy (his crest is soooo pink). What would be any interesting/fun characteristics of a Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster...
