The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

[delisha]

Quote: Hello Dan,
I have only been showing them for a year. I never had this good of quality before.
My original show birds came from Kershaw's.(The ones pictured) I did purchase chicks from other breeders and have not kept any of them but Sterling/Foley line.
I have added some Sterling/Foley blood and will be showing the new breeding this year.
So I guess you can say these are all mine.
I do not have a male/female line..but I have some hens with some smudging and some with crisp lacing.
My birds are large. As large as English Orpingtons.

Hope all of your eggs hatch well!

I had posted a few months ago, unsure of the sex of one of my SLW. never having had them befor I wasn't sure what the differences were as a chick. well .... Storm was suppose to be a girl but he's deff a boy! hes almost 4 months now. and the first rooster in my flock. hes so sweet ........I just know nothing about roosters ?!

 

[PBGGG]

Aww, he is adorable!

I know all about roos because I've had one living in my house for 7 months, haha!

They're mostly easy to take care of, when they start getting aggressive don't be afraid to give them a smack or a kick, it puts them right in line. Most people say at least 4 hens per rooster, which I think is good too.

Definitely a male silver laced wyandotte. The rose comb, yellow legs, and his color are key indicators. Should turn into a handsome fellow
