Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some Silver Laced Wyandotte laying hens. We are trying to cut back down on breeds. We are also wanting to get of one of our Japanese bantam roosters. He is just getting in fights with our big rooster and he managed to get in with our broody hens (with her chicks). He nearly hurt some a few of them pretty badly when he was trying to get away from me.








Our Wyandottes are just a little over a year old; they've only been laying for about three months or so. Decent Layers


This is our little Japanese Bantam rooster. Buff Black Tail. Hatched Last March.

AND JUST HAD TO SHARE ABOUT MY CHICKS THAT HATCHED TWO NIGHTS AGO!!! I have six arriving from our feed mill on sunday!

Oh, hey, while we're on the subject of bantams... TSC gets theirs exclusively from Mt Healthy which carry 4 types of bantams-- Mille Fleurs, Black or White Silkie, OEG of all colors, and Golden or Silver Sebrights. My kids got this little girl the same time as the Sebright. Obviously it's not any of the latter breeds which leaves the Mille Fleur. As she feathered out I called Mt Healthy thinking she was a cochin and they told me no, they don't carry cochin bantams. Mille Fleur is technically a color not a breed, but is it normal for one to hatch out without the pattern at all? What would she be considered then, a Black D'Uccle? I'm not even a fan of bantams I don't know why I let the kids get them, I need to remember to avoid TSC during chick days! Farmraised here's my Silver Sebright. He's like 8 weeks old, you all thinking he is in fact a he? At first I thought he'd be a girl he had tail feathers before any of the others. There's no hackle or saddle feathers yet, but that sure is a lot of red and wattles for that age, I guess I was hoping bantams just got their red much earlier.

Both my TSCs- the one here and in NM got their bantams from Privett's, fwiw. Mt. Healthy has another salmonella issue this year.

Ps- that's a cochin. And Privett's haa cochin bantams in their bantam assortment. That's to dutchbunny... that is not a d'Uccle, and definitely not mille fleur anything. That's prolly a black with leakage...

Well obviously not a Mille Fleur! I knew it was black. My thing was they kept telling me it couldn't be a cochin because that order was from Mt Healthy which had me pretty confused because it looked like a cochin to me. I have a couple older ones from Mt Healthy too and they are fine. The salmonella outbreak apparently only effected a small percentage of the birds. I had asked on here when I first heard that worried about what I had from TSC and was told on here if they had salmonella they would have been dead long before 3 months old. Fortunately all of mine were healthy. Just happened to get them as impulse buys in TSC during chick days (DH really should know better than to send me there with the kids, I never say no haha).
 
Good morning everyone.

All my chicks have hatched

Yay!!!!
I was losing hope in the middle there. Even my lone Lavender Leghorn egg that accidently spent 2 days out of the incubator half way through hatched! I was shocked, I was sure she was done for.
All but one that made it past my 1 week candling hatched. I threw away so many in the beginning though it was ridiculous started with over 50 eggs and ended up with 17 chicks, risk that comes with mail order I suppose.

Now

the exchequer leghorn, lavender leghorn, Russian orloff, and Jubilee orp are girls because I only have 1 of each!
 
Wow! I'm pleased and impressed that you got that one forgotten egg to hatch!
Here's to girls!

Today we drive to Georgia to watch my niece graduate. She's the one that spends a week or so every summer with me, helping out. Love that girl!
