Silver deathlayer?

[TheOddOneOut]

PLEASE tell me these are silver deathlayers the precious photos might be my neighbor’s mutts. I hatched eggs for her at the same time as the deathlayers and might have given her my death layers instead of her mutts

THOSE are deathlayers!!

You’ll just have to ask for them back!

Time to make a swap! She has your Deathlayers.

Oh great!! I was so mad lol my neighbor kept insisting those are my expensive chicks and said I can go get them any time. I was certain that the ones with pretty eyes are the death layers and have been babying those almost to death LOL I will go swap them soon. Thank you everyone.

How is it going with your deathlayers? I might have the opportunity to acquire a few chicks!? But I am new to chickenry and I'm a little concerned about the shy temperament or wanting to roost in trees?

I read that a lot of people have issues keeping them a live but mine have all done great! They are the most shy out of all the breeds We own and we have scout 6 or 7 breeds. Our death layers free range from sun up to sun set, i never seen them roost on a tree, though they frequent fly to the top of the coop. They have no issue coming in the coop every night, I just bribe them with abit of chicken scratch. They wouldn’t let us catch them but are happy to sit in my head, back..shoulder when I’m holding the feee bucket Good luck with your deathlayers

I have a nine week old Gold Deathlayer pullet and your description of temperament is similar to my limited experience! Incredibly hard to catch but super inquisitive. She's very naughty and curious. Typically I am not a massive fan of flighty breeds and honestly didn't even want one-she just happened to come in an assortment but after raising her, I wouldn't hesitate to get more. She's quite entertaining and I feel like she is quite intelligent compared to many breeds I've raised. I've had no health issues either but it sounds like many people have. I would definitely order from a reputable breeder to avoid an inbred birds with compromised immune systems.

Oh that’s so true about their intelligence! I never thought of it but you are right, I picked one up yesterday and was patting her and cuddling her while I visited the different chicken cOop, the look she gave me was pretty hilarious. she arched her head far away from me giving me a funny look like “I don’t understand what s going on here, what is this holding me!?” . I’ve never seen that reaction out of any of my chickens. I think she liked being held but wasn’t sure if she should enjoy that attention lol

Someone ripped you off. Those are mutts with zero deathlayer blood.

I disagree, because I have a full blooded pair and mine are the same color(the babies).
The breaders are in a pen by them self,just saying.
I hatched their eggs myself.
Look at their eyes,if they have amber or colored eyes and not black eyes then they are mixed.
So do some research and you will see the different colors of the baby chicks.
This male rooster was the color of your baby's but he grew into this.
