Blue-laced Red Wyandotte Trio (Male - blue; female looking to the camera - blue; female facing away - splash):

Blue-laced Red Wyandotte Pair (splash):

Blue-laced Red Wyandotte Trio (Male - splash; female closest to camera - splash; female behind - black):

I don't know what PWB means, but yes, I noticed the wide stance as well.

Really nice dark blue on yours, Chickndaddy. Nice seeing the black one too.

Thank you and you are welcome.

Cool...I found 2 BLRW pullets in Blue over on the FS forum. They're 3 mo old. Mine are 5 1/2 months, but it's very workable. By the time the new girls spend 4 weeks in quarantine, they'll be big enough to join the others.

SooOOOooo....I'll be setting eggs in the bator next season. Bwaa haaa ha ha!

I'll have to get another pic of roo #1. He's not as broad/stocky or wide of stance as that first pic makes him appear. Must have been the angle of the shot or something. He was turning away from the camera when I snapped it.

A bird is supposed to have a wide stance, it shows they've got substance to their body. I personally wouldn't want one any other way, especially in a heavy breed.

Is this roo blue or splash? I can't seem to wrap my mind around the difference. I think he looks a touch lighter in person. He is a Foley descendant but my pullet is hatchery stock. She is only 3 weeks old but clearly brassy and I think she is a splash.
