Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

x2

To improve the lacing you could cross her with a black (their lacing is usually THICK) might work in the chicks. If you can't do that I would not use her to breed.

Ahhh good I was thinking the same thing. I have a gorgeous black male I have been growing out for that exact reason yayyyyy

I had 2 Foley chicks hatch

I don't know what color they are.... anybody can offer ideas

This one is still gooey but is VERY Dark, but I don't think I would call it black.....



My first thought with this one was it is blue, but not sure.

Those look blue to me

This is the hen I am thinking is light blue...not splash. The other hen is going through a molt right now so I didn't get any pics but I am pretty sure she is splash.

Same hen...

Splash rooster, looking a little rough as he and the turkeys have been getting into spats lately.

Same rooster.

I don't have any pics of the chicks yet. They range from 1 week to 2 1/2 weeks. I will try and get some soon though!

Splash

We just culled from a laying flock of 12 to 3 hens and 1 rooster. The new Foley birds should be here in the next two days. Had to make room

My Foley birds are on the way! My Foley birds are on the way! So excited! Now I have two lines of Foley birds.

I have a quick question. When you hatch out BLR eggs, are the black birds Golden Laced Wyandottes? The reason I'm asking is I bought a dozen eggs and 5 hatched. About 2 months ago a raccoon got them all but 1 blue hen & one blue rooster. I have covered their tractor in hardware cloth & taken care of the raccoon. So I was wondering if I got a few Golden Laced Wyandottes and crossed them, would it be the same? Here is a picture of the birds I have left

GLW are NOT the same. BLRW have a mahogany gene that GLW don't have. BLRW are a MUCH DEEPER RED than a GLW.
