The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

[dracoe19]

These are actually chickens I hatched from my flock. The parents are from Foleys line. Mine are all pretty docile and friendly. I only have one that has an attitude and tries to kick me every so often... All the others are as sweet as can be .

awsum birds there, wish my girls looked half that good, but they do lay pretty well, and are pretty enough, I don't show, just have a flock of layers and some plans to make a few babies this year, I ordered a couple Silver penciled wyandottes, from Sandhill will see how they are , and if they are decent maybe next year I can add a few more SLW, and maybe some wellies......Kim

Hello, I am getting SLW' s in 3weeks. I have never owned chickens before. Can you all give me all the advice you can( down to the littlest tidbit!)? I am counting on you. I am scared that I might miss some (not) obvious signs. Please help!!

Just found this thread, glad to see its still going.

I have 10 SLW pullets, 11 1/2 wks old, Estes Hatchery origin. My problem is I use broody hens exclusively to raise my chicks and since they won't conform to a schedule, I only have 3 weeks to arrange day old chicks to supplement a hatch. Last 2 hatches all my local suppliers of quality birds were out, so here I am with hatchery SLWs. We plan to cull heavily, will look at body type at least as much as feathering. Any suggestions for 3 week windows on day olds? (and tomorrow is day 21 for my MaransChick),
