Hi there. Could anyone tell me which cockerel exhibits more show quality? Al be it they are at different ages. The two at the top are brothers and the other one is my personal which I’m thinking of getting rid of for one of the brothers. TIA.
We have buff orphington and silver laced Wyandotte hens, and a buff Orpington roo, and these are the 2 chicks that have hatched so far! Since the eggs are basically the same colors, I do not know which check are for which breed of hen! Is it too early to tell? The darker chicks egg was a pale...
We have two green queen EEs and one silver laced Wyandotte! I’m new to chickens and just can’t tell. :) the first three pictures are from today, 10 weeks, and the last two are about 8 weeks.
Hi all, I am wanting to get a Wyandotte rooster to add to my flock to potentially hatch chicks in the future, but I am not sure what color rooster I should get. I have:
5 Silver laced Wyandotte hens
1 Golden laced Wyandotte hen
1 Blue laced Wyandotte hen.
I was planning on getting a golden...
We bought a silver lace wyandotte pullet ( she was approximately 8-10 weeks, the breeder told us she was 10 weeks but shexxxxxxq looked younger and her plummage was still developing). So when she was between 8-10 weeks she weighed 1.2 kg. A month late at approx 12-14 weeks, she weighed 1.4kg...
Just for fun, as we got an assortment of a barnyard mix for our broody from a friend a few weeks ago. She wasn't even sure if some of the eggs were fertilized or not (details in another post)
But out of 12 I popped under our broody, 6 hatched (4 nonfert, 1 busted, 1 died about a week before)...
Did I end up with a Wyandotte rooster? they're all approximately 4 months old. here you can see a female (behind the silkie) and the bird in question in front. it's started to crow, but a really weak and garbled sounding crow, so I thought at first it was just an androgenous hen taking up the...
Hi all,
I ended up with 4 roosters from the Lavender Orpington bin at TSC and one of them is just such a sweet boy I'm thinking of keeping him. I have a mixed flock and I'm curious if anyone has any experience with crossing a LO rooster with any of the following:
- white cochin
- black cochin...
Hi again chicken friends!
I’m ready for another round of… you guys telling me I don’t have a pullet 😋
But am I crazy - do SLW pullets have green in tails?! Or just cockerels…… “she” is 8 weeks
Thanks again!
These two are stumping me. I've read conflicting sexing info regarding hackle feather shape, wattles and combs and I'm questioning if they are both roos because of this or just one of them or neither. One has rounder hackle feathers and a flat comb area with a wattle and they are very pink...
I got these chicks a couple days ago from Tractor Supply and when I got home I searched the breed up and the chicks looked a little different. At the store the bin they had these chicks in said “Colombian Silver Laced Wyandotte” it also had a picture of silver laced Wyandottes. I asked for 3 of...
Hello! I'm hoping some of the experts here can help me sex these 6-7 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks. These were straight run from a hatchery. I purchased 4, and one of them is definitely a pullet (not pictured) based on no waddles, darker comb, lacing on neck, etc. The other 3 are...
I have three 8 week old light brahmas and a silver laced Wyandotte and 2 light brahmas who are 7 weeks old. I’m afraid almost all of them are roosters. What do you think? Sorry for so many pictures. I probably should have split into 2 posts.
First chicken - white tag - Lee - 8 weeks
Second...
Hello, BYC friends!
I have 2 silver laced wyandotte pullets (presumably) that are 3 weeks old today. I also have 2 black giants (2 weeks old), 3 cochins (3 weeks), and 2 easter eggers (2 weeks). I read that SLWs tend to mature slower than other breeds, but mine are nearly double the size of the...
Hello Chicken Fam!
So I ordered my chicks from Cackle Hatchery, their City Town Special- 3 where I can order 3 of the breeds they offer, and I bought an Easter Egger, Blue laced Wyandotte and a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Well, I ordered 3 and received an extra Silver Laced Wyandotte. From the very...
I have three hatchery SLW. The one single comb I feel is obvious rooster. The other two I think one may be a rooster one a pullet. Any input? I got them end of February
