The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

Here is my Winnie... Or could she be a Willie? 4-1/2 weeks old. It seems like her comb is super red compared to the rest of her mixed breed flock.

Mmm, I think I see waddles.

+1...hi Willie.

Yikes. I am ending up with more suspect roo's than planned... Or actually my chicken math may be working out for me. I guess we will have a battle of the breeds to see who rules the roost.... I may have to choose between EE, SLW, or WLH... so far...

just wanted to show my two off-they were given to me a few days ago and I don't know much about them but they are such pretty birds!

Thank you I'm glad you find them helpful . I'm hoping to make some more showing all the different feathers in a similar fashion. Poor chickens are goi to have to deal with my feather plucking again lol!

That 4 1/2 week old is for sure a cockerel.

Pretty girls. Are they laying for you yet?

And random question for all you SLW keepers. How often if at all do your SLW lay double yolkers? My 2 girls seem to give me 2-3 a month on average. Is it because they're still relatively young ( 6.5 months)? Or am I just lucky? They've been laying for 2.5 months now. I just got my third one this month today.

Depends what you wanna do with them. If your eating them, then you are definitely lucky. I have a glw. That regularly lays double yolkers

, but if you are collecting for the incubator they are not suitable.

Correct, double yolkers will not hatch. good to eat, but not for breeding.
