Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

[Sswanee48]

This is my BLRW. I named her Blubber. That was a recent decision. You'll see why. Even though she is heavy she can still out run me. It is really funny to watch her run. I wanted to pick her to see how heavy she was and finally had to have someone else catch her (with a dipnet I might add) I didn't weigh her but she is pretty heavy.


I think she isn't laying any eggs right now. If anyone sees this can you tell if you have had problems with your chicken not laying because she is to fat. I haven't seen her in the egg box for awhile. I'm thinking of rehoming her if she doesn't start laying again pretty soon.

I have heard that fat chickens don't lay eggs. She is a Chuck!

The top single female photo is a splash.

The second might be a dark blue or black, I think dark blue

she is quite round!
she almost looks puffy like she's broody?
also sometimes hens will stop laying 1-2 weeks before molting. how old is she?

Thank Viola for the input! I was kind of leaning towards male on two of the three...it would be sad if all 3 were males When can you definitively say one way or another?..aside from the first crow attempt Are there any other things to look for? Thank you for the help!

Very nice.

Thank you!
