Quote: The. pictures you posted are not enough of your male. Your splash is not a breeding prospect IMO
this female has more pictures. I would need this one and your male of them standing up.walking around your yard naturally ..front..side..rear and over the top..weights and ages.

I just looked up Fowley's and they wont be selling blrw chicks this year
I'm in NY, who wants to ship here, what are your prices and minimum number of chicks you will ship?

I want to get some of these birds. Where can I order the best quality blr wyandottes from. I was planing on getting some from unionhillranch.com but want some other options. thanks

from any dedicated breeder, IMO, NOT a hatchery...

I browse people's signatures when they post on here, personally, to see if they have any available or a website, etc.

I am wanting to get 1 or 2 of these beauties for my flock. I'm not planning on breeding or showing, just for egg laying. This breed just looks so cool! Seems there are various shades of BLRWs. I think I like the lighter looking ones best. Any tips on picking a good chick in regards to how it will turn out when it feathers? Or is there really no way to tell?

here's a pic of what the chicks look like when they're little so you can identify black/blue/splash each line will be different though, and if they're from a hatchery all bets are off since they might not look like the chicks in the picture... but if you are going for splash, pick out the lightest chicks they have

Perfect! That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!

Any tips for letting a broody set some eggs for the first time?

Any tips for letting a broody set some eggs for the first time?

I like to use large totes..

I cut a hole in the end leaving a lip so chicks can't fall out.(6 inches) They have to be old enough to hop over the lip. (3-5 days) I fill it with bedding and place the broody with her old nest right on top of the new bedding to the back of the tote. I leave the front empty for water and feed after chicks hatch.

New pullets like to hear and be near her buddies so I place the tote in the coop but protected from all visitors. All the other hens will come and lay eggs in the new nest and that is a pain so I keep them out. The mix up and back and forth causes confusion and the broody will not return to the correct nest. After a few times I do not bother with keeping them seperated. Good luck!
