Chicken pecking order. She is probably higher up on the wyan side for some reason...or she likes the rooster better on that side?

Way to kill the thread, Bairo!!

Just kidding. I'd say everyone is either at Crossroads or enjoying the weather.

To get back to chickens (mainly because if I shared my political beliefs you would Bairo would stroke out

) I have a chicken with an identity crises. She's a Wyandotte trapped in an Orp's body. I have two seperate pens and she will kill herself to get in the Wyandotte pen. She wants to roost with them at night and paces and cries at the divider when I put her back on the Orp side. She is related to all the Orps, she grew up with all the Orps, so why the defection?

LOL... I was in Morganton today... bought a barred rock bantam. LOL

I just checked that link and scanned it... no major problem, bairo... I vote for RP....... As for chickens... I have a Delaware who is like that with the bantam barnevelders... she INSISTS on being with them, which is fine by me. Their eggs are darker (not that much smaller mind you). It's obvious who's egg is who's... but she sticks out like a big white sore thumb!!! LOL

Oh, yeah. She is the queen bee on the Wyandotte side. She might just like the boys better over there, mainly because they are TERRIFIED of her.

I'm going to have to put my foot down when hatching time comes around again.

My two hatchery SLW refuse to leave the Orp pen and that one Orp won't leave the SLW pen. And I KNOW that I can't tell the eggs apart. That's why I had to break every single (insert the word-that-begins-with-a-b-but-shouldn't-be-written here) since early summer. I didn't want to hatch another mutt. Not that I don't love my baby Bobs.

Speaking of girls... I love my first two SLW with all my heart. They are what made me fall in love with chicken-keeping, but I have to admit they were never what you would call pretty. Sweet and funny, but not pretty. Now they are in full molt and... well... Bless their hearts...

Greetings from Union country. A gentleman from my Church was looking to add to his flock and was interested in the silver laced wyandottes. I told him I'd check here for anyone that might be in the area selling them. Do you folks know of anyone in the area that breeds these?

Thanks

I should have some in the spring. PLEASE don't look at the post just before yours!

I have some that aren't baldies, too. They're just young and not laying, yet.

Stanglover used to have some, too, but I think she sold hers.

Cybercat breeds Partridge Rocks, I believe. You can try looking back a couple of pages and contacting her. I would love Partridge Wyandottes. Do you have bantam or LF?

Or maybe she has a romantic eye on one of the Wyabdottes.

Danny....a friend lost her white Jap roo and is looking for a replacement. Will you be selling any of yours...or eggs?? There is also a man below Knoxville who has Japs...that is where my friend got her pair. She had trouble hatching her eggs out though. It seems like the chick would be fine and after 4 days gradually start getting weak and die. Any ideas?? I will also check to see what she has in cochins right now. Are you looking for Bantams?

besides her feeling better over there because of pecking order. If she is the head hen, she will also feel like they are HER flock. Remember that the #1 hen is every bit as much a leader of the flock as the rooster, more sometimes. Shes going to need therapy next spring if you take her away, lol
