Golden Laced Wyandotte Thread!

I got some pictures not good ones since she runs from me and one of my BO was trying to model for me so I got what I could and I will post them when I get to work so I can use the wifi

Jess, are they in with a rooster?  If it's only the two pullets, they might have poor feather quality which doesn't hold up to the normal activity of a rooster mounting them.

How old were your GLW before they started laying? I'm curious my baby was born the first week in may and I'm wondering when she will start laying eggs!

I have a batch of mid-April pullets that I expect to start laying sometime between mid-September to mid-October.

Looks to me like their feathers didn't hold up to the rooster(s).

Ok, silly question. My 9 week old GLW still has quite the downy bottom. Does it stay that way or will she get regular feathers? Don't care, it's just hubby asked and I don't know. Thanks.

This is my cute little Clary,
This is a recent photo and she's about 13-14 weeks as of now, along with my other wyandottes

I was supposed to get two females. Oh well. The male has a gimpy wing, the first 3-4 feathers stick out. Is there a way to fix this or will he grow out of it?
