Arizona Chickens

I bought 2 Silver Lace Wyandottes, however I believe I have one not two. Their combs are developing now and they are not the save. Colar variations dose not bother me. I have pictures of their heads and feet. The blacker one is growing a single comb and her. Waddle is starting to develope. Right now it is more of a pink rose color, and her legs are darker. The one I think is the Wyandotte, is developing that double comb wrinkly thing (can't remember what it is called), And her waddle is a hair smaller, not enough to be a breed growth rate indicator. The black one also has white feathers on upper part of her wing. You can see a fant lace pattern with the gray. If the gray is a a Wyandotte (I think she is), is she going to be a blue lace? And what are the options for the black one? Even her eyes are different? .

Any ideas? I picked the two of them because as peeps there was just enough color variation to tell them apart.

Second question, I have 3 girls that seem to be working for top bird. The 2 Amaricanas and the RIR (1 wk younger). No violence yet, just the chest thing. Most of the time Vony seem to be victor... But can't really tell yet. I am just learning their body language and sounds. It is part of the joy in having them, god knows it is not cheep eggs (my fault, to many treats ).

Very pretty chicks you have.
I dont' think you have SLW. These are my 2 earlier this year.

Well, Sunshine passed away some time today while were gone. I came home and she is stiff as a board. I have no idea what happened. Maybe it was a scorpion. There were never signs of discomfort though, so at least there was that.

Now to break it to my wife and then open her up to check her vent for being egg bound, although that doesn't sound right. It was too sudden for that to have killed, I think. I don't think there is much else I can check for.

Is it safe to save and eat the breast meat, or is that too risky without knowing the cause?

I am disappointed, I think the Wyandotte is one of the prettiest birds. That was the only one I wanted. Will, what do I have? Clean Black legs, reddish pink comb, black feathers , with some white feathers on the wings and breast. What is the gray one? It has a rose comb, redder the the other, waddle and I think a check patch my be developing. Legs a lighter black with some pink on the pads. I will take better pictures when I get home if it will help. I was told all they had in the stock tank were Silver Lace Wyandotte! . They weren't. Will are the others what they are supposed be?

(How do you insert a video?).

I have 1 RIR, 1 Buff Orpington, 2 Americana. And 2 mystery girls. I am not very happy right now. I still love my girls, but I can not add to my flock. My coop will hold only 6 and I have one grumpy neighbor. Well we will see. I hope they are good layers.

I think the one with gray lacing may be a SLW/BA mix. And the bluish one could be a blue orpington

the rest look good.1 RIR, 1BO, and 2 Ameraucanas

Miley was trying to get Dabney to play with her. The dogs are good with the chickens. Have to bring D in the house in the morning so not to bother the neighbors. He is this loud inside and outside. He may need to find a new home.

Ladykota - you have a beautiful flock!
