Mine have always lightened with age. I can see dark and light tail feathers on your guy, so he is a splash. Both birds pictured have nice body type!

Here are some examples of how much their color can change.

OK, What is up with the pink legs on the rooster? Is that normal?

I got my first BLR Wyandotte this morning, been

over these for quite a while now. They are just too beautiful, and now I finally got my little one!

I may get hammered for this, but am I the only one who loves the Wyandottes but dislike a rose comb?

I agree! I realize the rose comb serves a practical purpose in the winter, but that bumpy blob of flesh isn't very becoming...and I have several Wyandottes.

Im not into breeding them for show or anything, just enjoy their pretty colors and patterns.

I suppose it takes some getting used to. There are plenty of Wyandottes with straight combs so you can probably find plenty to put in your flock if you so desire.
I would not hammer you for liking what you like. Breed how YOU want your flock to look, not by someone's ideas about what THEY want. You might not can show them and probably don't want to anyhow so don;t worry what others like or dislike. If tehy don;t want to buy the offspring they can find a breeder that breeds what they want to see in theirs.

I do not mind seeing the combs. I have had Silkies long enough to get used to it and I adore those Muscovy that have a lot of carnuncle on their faces so the comb of the Wyandottes does not bother me. It isn't like I pet them there. But to each his own. That is what makes America great!

I have a pair of single combs I would gladly give you free if you were closer...beautiful lacing and type

the roo is about 4 months the pullet is almost 2 months.I don't mind the sc for my laying pens since they only lay eggs but if people come out and see them they may think I use them in the breeding pen so I won't keep any.
