Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

[CibolaChooks]

Here are some pictures of my babies that I got out of my BLRW and Splash coop. I am new to this and know I got several colors, any help out there with identifying them so that going forward I know what I am looking at?

I think you have a really good shot at these two turning out BLRW

DMRippy do you sell/have BLRW?

There should be some good pictures on this thread of peeps.

Also, We're able to offer our BLR eggs for sale now!

What about chicks?

One of my BLRW chicks now almost a month old is developing the ridges of a comb and the other one is still very smooth/flat. Is this an early indication of a cockerel? Feathering is still quite similar..

18 months to maturity. Wow. At about what age can I expect laying to begin? I've heard that the later they start, the longer they'll lay in general. Has anyone found this to be true with this breed?

I like these chicks a lot. They are getting along well with the others and are very friendly.

My BLRW are not laying yet. I don't ship chicks yet.

It may have a single comb instead of a rose comb. But it can be early indication of a roo.

They are still not laying?! I think my Marans and your BLRW need threatening...

Quote: and mine too... they keep this up they may end up at a swap this summer.

Quote: Both chicks definitely have rose combs. I have one hen with a single comb in my laying flock and she is a beautiful splash color, but hatchery quality. Great disposition though.. they all seem to be very sweet. I'll see if I can get some new photos. A pair wouldn't be so terrible but I'd need to bring in some new blood fairly soon...

If I'm remembering correctly my pullets started at 7 months, I do have a hold out that just started this week (10 months). Of course it's the best one that held off laying.
