Is 20 week old GL Wyandotte Rue a Roo?

Looks like a pretty pullet to me. The laced wyandottes are SO pretty - but I do hear they're flighty.

Thank you for the feedback. I got them because they are a quiet breed (good for urban coops) and supposed to be friendly. I guess that means chicken friendly and not necessarily dog friendly (I think I need to readjust my expectations to the species and remember that they aren't dogs)

Be patient.... keep offering treats and eventually they'll decide you aren't dangerous. Lol Some girls take longer than others, but you can usually tame them pretty good

Thank you! I won't give up, but will learn to be patient.

She's very pretty.

I have SLW and we sit with them in the evenings to give them snacks. Only one of them has come around to take food out of my hand, and they still don't want to be petted or picked up. Several of the other girls will jump in our laps, allow us to hold them or roost on our arms or pet them... I think it's just the wyandotte demeanor

Thank you for this feedback!

So what are the breeds of the girls that like to be in your lap. I want a lap chicken!

My EE is the friendliest and most outgoing of mine, and I've heard this is often true of them.

None of my GLWs were flighty. A couple became more friendly after they started laying. Lovely breed in my opinion, hardy in cold winters. My oldest is 10
Picture was taken a couple of summers ago but she is still beautiful!

I have a couple EE that are overly friendly, my Polish bantams, and our Wheaten Maran pullet... a few of the EE squawk when we pet them,so I think it varies with each bird
