This is a test to see if I can get a picture posted. I'm not understanding the cut and paste part- not very good on the computer!

The easiest way to cut and paste...

Put your cursor on what you want to copy (the second link on the pic you uploaded). Right click on your mouse, then scroll down and click on "Copy." Go to the post that you want to put the picture in, right click and scroll down and click on "Paste."

You can do it!

I've got blue wyandottes (not from Privett) and they are very sweet birds and lay fairly well...not very large eggs tho.

I think I did it! Thanks for the help!!

This is my favorite hen. She is the most striking with her dark head. I have very light to a very dark charcoal blue color in my 5 hens.

Hi Katy

That is my only complaint about the Blue Wyandottes, is that they lay a small egg. Where did you get your Blue Wyandottes?

The first ones were from a girl in Texas who had gotten hers from an older gentleman and I added some from Jerry and Rebecca Foley last year.

I saw that Foley's was breeding them and now Paul's Poultry is working on Breeding and improving them. I lost my Blue Wyandotte rooster to a bob cat last Feb. and quickly gathered eggs and hatched out 4 chicks in hopes of replacing him, but none of the Blue x Blue eggs hatched, just the Blue x Silver Laced Wyandotte eggs I set. But I got a beautiful Silver laced BLUE rooster and a surprise Blue Laced Red pullet! Genetics are a funny thing!

The fertility on mine has always been up and down. Not sure what the deal is with them.

Oooooooooo.....she's gorgeous!!!!! I haven't heard of blue wyandottes, before. I hadn't heard of the blue laced red wyandottes, either, until last year but now I see some blue wyandottes in my future....
