Is Mag a rooster or hen? Sorry; I should know this. Mag looks like a hen to me, but I’m thrown by the long tail feathers.

Can you edit this post please. I don't want Mag reading it. He would be most insulted.
Mag is a rooster and very much so. He would be devastated to read he had been mistaken for a hen.

Myth! I don’t recall meeting her before. She’s lovely! The light spots on her feather tips remind me of sequins like she’s dressed for a party!

She is lovely in lots of ways but she's a chick killer and the others seem to know it, or know she's not the full ticket in some way.

They're worried we may be too sick to feed them.

You are probably right

I've never seen a black one before! The ones we have here are green.

The chickens have been loving it!

Cool I haven’t really seen many green ones. We had heaps a few years back but the ones we have now are black and orange.

I did it! I recovered my picture of the really big one:

I have only bought from 2 places:

Beautiful Chickens

&

Heritage Hatcheries

My younger birds are from Heritage Hatcheries.

Cool I will have to check them out and see if they ship to Sydney

Good morning everyone

I don't think either of them do. Beautiful chickens is taking a breeding sabbatical ~ which you will see if you go to their website~ but I was looking @ City Chicks for silver laced Wyandottes & they do have a Sydney store. I have had trouble getting some of the rarer breeds & have had to wait on them turning up somewhere. You might do better looking round the country areas just outside Sydney.
