Just ordered some GLW and BLRW eggs and am VERY excited. Currently have Barnevelders, Barred Rock, Buff Orps, Australorps and EE's. Look forward to following the thread and hoping I have a successful hatch. Lots of beautiful pictures so far. Wondering what the experience has been with those who have laying GLW's - how often, color, etc.

Crongratulations with your wyandottes. It depends whether you have a hatchery strain or exhibition quality strain. Hatchery birds usually lay better but may not resemble a wyandotte in shape. Wyandottes lay a light brown medium egg their pullet year. The eggs will be larger after their first adult molt.

HI, I actually got them off of craigslist. A lady who breeds them, she's out in Borculo, which is near Zeeland... Well anyway, she put up an ad for 6-8 week pullets, and I looked them up, the pullets that is, to see what they were, and thought, OMG I gotta have some, and well, went out there and originally got 2 golds and 2 silvers... BUT one silver had heat stroke and didn't make it... We had like 90 degree temps one morning by 9 am and darn near 80% humidity, and me being the dummie I was, I forgot to leave the top of the dog house ajar the night before, and I don't know why, cuz I always put in the spacer so there would be good air... Well, anyway... and water was in the coop, but I guess she couldn't get to it for come reason... Well, anyway, live and learn, and I learned the hard way to never be forgetfull. I have never had chickens until this year... Felt so bad, and I still do... Well, anyway, I got them from this lady, and I can not even remember her name. But thats all she does... Wyandottes. I am hoping to get more from her this year. They are just something aren't they.
