So saying "rooster" is bad, what is the acceptable term so I don't sound silly?

Cock bird, cock or male. Cockerel for a male under a year old. I'm still trying to break myself of my rooster lingo.

Really really sorry to hear about your grandpa. I am sure he was surrounded by loved ones in his last days, which is all we can all hope for.

I promise to take lots of photos for you. Any breeds you want to see in particular? I am always impressed by the size of the Bramas and the shear awkwardness of the Modern Game Bantams, oh and don't get me started on the Peking Ducks. Love them!. I will get lots of photos!

Oh they all sound so fun! Since we have Brahma's, I'd love to see pics of the LF. I think ours are small. We are supposed to get some from Urch this spring. Maybe next year we could show some ourselves Just have to actually attend a show first and see how it is done.
Thank you so much!

I'm sorry to hear that

I'm picture happy just let me know which breeds you want pictures of and I will get them for u

Oh I hope lots of people are picture happy and want to share on the forum. Love all the different perspectives! If you see a Golden Laced Wyandotte Cockerel can you try to get a good picture of his head that shows the comb orientation? I'd like to see what is being shown. This is mine:







I'm told he has great type but that his comb is large. I'd like to see HOW large or what exactly the person meant.
If you find one and have time, I really appreciate the picture! Thank you so much!

Cockerel if under 1 year, Cock if older than 1 year, Same goes for Pullet and Hen

I got a kick out of one persons comment. "Rooster" seems more "politically correct" if you don't know the birds age. Kinda like calling all women Ms. if you don't know if they are Miss, MS or MRS.

So @ronott1 Ron I knew this one ^^^^ but what is the acceptable term for "lock down?"

Day 18? I hope Lock Down will eventually be adopted by the purest. Personally, I plan to keep using it. Its simple.

Or set for hatching.

I like lock down too. It help with keeping us out of the incubator.

I think you would appreciate the Chicken State University Thread. They did a great section on Wyandottes. Be sure to also go to page 1 to read the rules before participating in the thread. This is not a typical forum where you chat. CSU is structured like a class and participants are expected to stay on target, and discuss the breed being discussed.

Here is the link to the Wyandotte Section:
