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
I am fairly certain the large light brama is a cockerel. Big feet. Larger than the rest. Comb coming in. Has the black collar. The other two unsure. The one that kind of has a black collar I’m 50/50. The outlier I believe to be a pullet. Any thoughts? Also the other black and white guys in...
Hi everyone,
I have a silver laced wyandotte who turns 1 in a few days. She is just coming out of her first moult, and we are noticing that all the new feathers on her back are double laced! I have attached some pictures from before her moult and now.
I have done some research by I can't find...
Some of y'all convinced me to start Silver Laced Wyandotte thread, so here goes! Come support and join me!
Silver Laced Wyandotte (SLW) chickens are the parents of all the Wyandotte chicken kind. All other patterns and colors of the Wyandottes that we are familiar with today all originated...
Hi I have one Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet/hen that hatched on 6/23
She is ready for her forever home. She is currently residing in Chino, CA near the mountain exit off the 60 freeway. $25
Hoping to post photos tomorrow.
Hi there, I'm a brand new chicken Mama in Penngrove, CA. I'm stealing Niffty Chicken's Intro template to help me out with this intro... :)
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes, brand new! I've had my chicks for almost 4 weeks.
(2) How many chickens do you have...
Hi there! First time poster, long time lurker. Our first group of birds were Lavender Orpingtons. I had zero issues sexing them and now that the hens are adults, I didn’t let any roosters slip thru the cracks. Our second group is now 14 weeks old and includes both Silver Laced Wyandottes and BLR...
Hello, I hatched a dozen eggs a few weeks back but only one of my Silver Laced Wyandottes hatched which is this little one here.
This baby is now 4 weeks, 6 days old and I can't figure out the gender. It was super slow to feather in but I think that might be a breed thing?
Anyone have any...
Hello! So I have a SLW chick about 5 week old. It may be too young yet to know, but what do you guys think (any fun guesses on your expertise/experience). As I can only have 2 chickens, I am hoping it is a pullet. I got her from a feed store who got them from Ideal Poultry to keep this abandoned...
Hey guys! We got our first egg today! I have five hens that are of laying age and I can't figure out which one laid this giant egg! We have a barred rock, a blue copper maran, a production red, a silver laced wyandotte, and a light brown leghorn. I think I have narrowed it down to either the...
Can anyone confirm for sure that this is a cockerel? Approx 12-13 weeks. It was sold as a sexed female chick 😩 I live in the city with strict ordinances concerning roosters
We had a mishap and my hen that was sitting on 10 eggs went to the wrong box for too long, we lost 8 eggs. I didn't have a lot of hope for the remaining two, but I left them because they looked like they were still developing properly. Today I went in and there was a baby chirping away 😭 I'm so...
Need to rehome 2 roosters. 1 is a Silver laced Wyandotte, the other is an offspring of his. We were told he was an Easter egger and hatched a set before we found out otherwise. Please let me know if you're interested in 1 or both. Dayton Ohio
Out of my 14 chicks, I mostly only suspect my 4 Wyandottes of potentially being roosters. They have had the most comb and waddle growth, and I've noticed some turning red. I know Wyandottes are one of the more difficult breeds to sex. What do you guys think? ^-^ (They are 2 months old)
Chick #1...
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...
