Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

Thoughts on this baby I purchased a few weeks back

I will now be starting a new pen from step one to breed into my line eventually for genetic diversity. Searching for a perfect SLW roo if anyone is willing to part with one!

Why would you start over from step 1? Just use a silver laced Wyandotte from a different bloodline with you blue laced silver flock for genetic diversity. That way you don't have to struggle to get rid of the leaky red (again).

I NEED ADVICE ALL YOU MOTHER DUCKERS!

I live in MT, sometimes we get -20 in the dead of winter. I am getting baby ducks & geese in June. Trying to perfect their giant predator proof run that they will stay in when I am at work or not home (free range when I am home) I want to know if I can put wild sagebrush in their pen? Is it toxic? Will they destroy it completely? Also, I would like to add wild grass that grows in our fields. Does anyone have any helpful info on sagebrush & ducks, geese? I think it would be perfect- cold hardy, thick wood branches, little maintenance, ect. Of anyone can help, I would be very much appreciative. I cannot find any info on Google that relates with ducks & sagebrush!

True I suppose but then I would only be diversifying with half the genes instead of all. I will probably do both. I have SLW eggs enroute now.

Hi! I'm new here. Can any of you pros tell me if maybe one of my baby blues is a rooster? They look quite different and are supposedly the same age.

Top pic looks like a pullet sec looks like a roo but not a blrw or wyandotte at all has a single comb

 

[waddles99]

Single combs are occasionally a byproduct of breeding BLRW. Every once in a while one shows up. I know a good breeder who says 5-10% of their hatchings from BLRW are single comb. But yes, as the person above me mentioned, wyandottes need to have rose combs and technically if it has such a largely different factor such as a single comb it is not technically a wyandotte.

Yes the second pullet I have come to believe is a cross of some sort. Her lacing is very minimal and she has a lot of grey on her legs and dark toenails, sort of like my ameracaunas.. he aremore pictures:
