THANK YOU!with Wyandottes..you should be able to stick your hand with fingers slightly spread under a male and not touch the legs..with fingers closed on a female. They are wide birds and the bone structure of a Wyandotte make them that wide. if they are not wide the bones are off and it throws the whole bird off. If the shoulders are not flat it brings the wings down and the shoulders roll and lift. That also throws off the whole balance of the bird. It forces intestines in different areas in the body and organs need to shift to accommodate a different proportioned body that was intended by the Wyandotte breed. Wyandottes are round.
I have several young birds and i should do some evaluations by pictures on young birds..what to look for etc..my problem is..I can't take pictures..I simply sucks at it. The bird could stand still for 5 minutes and its a blurry mess. I just do not have that skill.
