I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte chicken which a broody hatched. It is now 9 weeks old. It is not behaving like a cockerel or pullet. It has still a small comb and wattles. It has a lack of tail feathers but other than that it is almost fully feathered. Do you see a pullet or a cockerel???
First time chick mama here. This is an 8 week old GLW from Meyer hatchery. Any chance it’s a pullet as we were told when purchased?? Thanks for your help!
We have 5 chicks who are 5 weeks old and all different breeds so hard to compare. This is our Golden Laced Wyandotte Princess (or maybe Prince) Leia! Haha trying to answer the age old question of male or female? Any input is appreciated!!
Was told one of my 8 week old BLRW looks like a roo. The only difference I can tell between "him" and the others is the lack of blue lacing. I don't know if that was why it was said to be a roo or not. I dont know much about chicken feathering and I try not to put too much into "males have X...
One on my pullets passed suddenly yesterday which prompted a widespread inspection of the rest of the flock. This is the first year of having chickens and I thought things were going well - aside from the lice, which is another matter.
I have one wyandotte pullet (~4ish months) who has always...
I had 3 SLW hatch out in April. One has a totally flat comb, and one has a large comb. The other is kind of in between, but I'm thinking pullet based off comparing the 3 to each other, it's more similar to the for sure pullet anyways. Originally I thought I had 2 males and a gal though, so...
Wiki says Wyandottes have strawberry combs but I have a couple of black and white hens (from a previous owner so idk the hatchery) with cushion combs. At first I thought they might be Sussex hens but that breed is single comb. Then maybe Brahmans? But no feathered legs and those guys are pea...
I got these cuties from TSC a couple weeks ago. The employee told me they were Silver-Laced Wyandottes, but they started growing these adorable crests! Any clue what they might be mixed with? I’m a chicken community newbie and the only crested breeds I can think of are polish and silkies.
I’d love to hear anyone’s experiences with good quality(not hatchery) Wyandottes- and hybrids as well! Photos, growth rates, average finishing age & weights, are all greatly appreciated as well.
I live in a neighborhood and have gotten along well with my sweet Delaware rooster who only ever...
Hi long time since I posted! But I have a question and I keep getting mixed answers.
Long story. But feel like you need the whole picture. I have a broody hen (Ethel) who is a blue laced Wyandotte. She was broody probably two months ago, I bought fertile eggs and put under her. I made the...
Located in Bozeman, Montana. We will deliver them to you or meet you in town.
I have 4-5 year old chickens and ducks in need of homes. Unfortunately I'm not sure who is still laying, but some of the hens are still laying some eggs. Any of them anyone is willing to take in would be a blessing...
So one of my SLRW feathers are coming in a bit different than my other 2. I have no experience with frizzles but could this be what it is? Or just wonky baby feathers coming in? She is a sexed pullet from Cackle hatchery. Hatched on 6/1/2021
Today I was contacted by a local breeder.
She was retiring her Blue Laced Red Wyandottes and wanted a no-kill home for them.
A thirty-minute drive and 80$ later I finally have hands on some of my ultimate dream chickens.
I have always wanted BLRW, but I had this weird curse where something...
I have a Wyandotte mama who’s sitting on a clutch of 6 eggs. She’s been great so far. I’ve noticed though that she keeps leaving an egg (or a couple) out from underneath her. So far I’ve just been scooting them back underneath her but tonight when I found one I decided to candle it and see if...
