Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

I like Blue Dottes! I haven't found any around here yet...do you ship eggs?

They need to have yellow legs-which is the problem-most do not since they have been bred with too many other breeds to improve type. It's taken us 2 years just to selectively breed to get the color yellow in the entire foot.

My chicks started out with orange legs but they turned yellow as they got older. They look to be solid yellow, is it a problem to have them born with orange legs?

most of the blrw chicks I've had started out with darker legs. that seems to be normal. the ones I just got int he mail are the same way.

I know the ones I got from you. Don't have all yellow feet, I was wondering about that. I hope to hatch lots of babies next spring. I'll work on them too!

This years peeps for us now have all yellow feet and some are clean up the leg. It takes alot of culls.

I spent some time trying to take photos of the ones I think are pullets today, then my camera battery died!
some of the pictures are not the best, but I tried...

I think these are my females. last time I posted pics they were all males. now, even the females have some pink coming in their faces, but less developed comb and wattles.
its sort of a surprising amount of pink, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure they're girls though...?

what do you think? have you ever seen females with such pink at 9wk?

 

[PeakyBeaky]

That's for the blues only. The BLR have no longer issues there.

This is good to hear. I just hatched some BLRW from a new source, the chicks are just about 2 weeks old and the legs are not quite as yellow as I'd like. Crossing my fingers that they'll change.
