Help me figure out this breed? Thanks!

I know the wyandotte thread will be the ideal place for you, but you also need to research the breed standard for your hens. The bird in the pic showing her legs---her legs are the wrong color for her breed. That would be a serious fault.

lol i've been off the last few days myself with combs and breeds but hey we are human and make mistakes...had a good nights sleep last night and that has really helped a lot lol

Ah yes you chicken people have it so much harder when it comes to identifying breeds. Waterfowl doesn't have nearly as many colors and breeds and we don't have to worry about combs. Guess that's why I'm a waterfowl woman

What color should they be?

Thats why i'm on here I posted in that thread.
I know absolutely nothing because there is little to no info on blue wyandottes i've found.


Please help more, thanks
PLEASE inform me of breed standard and such, thank you so so much.

I thought it called for Yellow Legs. Though I don't have a copy of the SOP

In the photo of blue wyandottes that somebody posted in here to show me the difference, they have pure grey legs.

its the orps with the slate legs and the wyandottes have the yellow. if you want a critic then take some pics of her standing on her own from front, both sides, top, and back. get a good clear shot of her comb and eyes to see the color of her eyes. do good clear shot of her back close up to show the coloring of her feathers so people can see if she has the proper lacing. take a pic of her legs front, back, and bottom. these pics might help to critic her better than just one or 2 shots. it will give an idea of her conformation and how she stands.
