Anyone raise black Wyandotte in large or bantam ? How about Polish ? Looking to do little genetic experiment .

I have a red laced black wyandotte. She's about 10 months old and still not interested in laying but really pretty. Kind of a bully to the babies but has always been low hen in her flock.

I had a visitor last night. Didn't get in but he was checking out the run.
Maybe fox?

I don’t raise them, but I have a bantam black Wyandotte pullet I’m thinking of doing my own breeding experiment with... What do you think a modern game Wyandotte cross would look like?

Could be funny-looking! What if you got a rounded fluffy bird with those extra long legs.?


I may end up accidently doing my own experimental silkied serama x MGB cross. Hopefully I'll be able to tell the MGB eggs apart and just not set them.


I'd stick with these beauties:

I don't breed MGB. They're just for fun. I got a doz shipped eggs & only 2 hatched. Both ended up being female. I couldn't decide, so I ended up keeping both. The one pictured above is learning to play piano. (A side effect of the Covid boredom .... being stuck at home.)

If I really start getting bored, I may teach my blue MGB to dance. Perhaps @Justso will knit her some extra-long leg-warmers.

Around 7:30/8:00 pm I checked the yard for tracks since we had some fresh snow and it was already dark for a few hours. No signs of anything but a rabbit and our dog.
