The Wyandotte Bantam Thread

[Eggsakly]

Thanks for looking. There are actually a few that I'm not sure if they are golden laced or buff Columbian. I'm selling most of them locally and keeping a few for myself.

They are so cute! I'm really glad I got a couple of blues. The very, very dark one is quite small, and I suspect that is a girl. I've raised two batches of chicks, and the tiniest chicks in the other two batches were girls, so I'm betting this munchkin is, too. Now I have to decide which and how many I want to keep. Decisions, decisions.

Too bad I can't mail a couple to you.

Yep!

I would love a few more! But then I would probably try hard to con you out of those blues...and then you would have zero blues.

I hatch chicks that turn into Buff Columbian... as chicks those I think are just yeloww/buff.

Sheesh.... I remember nothing from one year to the next.

The bottom chick in this photo... reminds me of silver Spangled.....but that isn't a Wyandotte color.

Oh, Honey, those blues aren't going anywhere. There was no decision needed on that. I'm also pretty certain I'm keeping the golden laced - at least, the ones that I think are golden laced. Everyone else is negotiable. If this works out well, I may do it again, for more blues. Blues are in very short supply this year and they aren't selling more than a few at a time, nor including more than just a few in their assortments. But they did include three. Everyone in Alaska isn't ready to buy chicks in April when the feed stores have them. Last year I was able to sell 20 chicks in a really short time in July.

Maybe you and I will get some more blues yet this summer!

It was late last evening when I got around to taking photos. Here a few of the same varieties in daylight.



Dang, that is cute!!

 

[Alaskan]

Yeah... the yellow chick with the silver on the back...does look like Silver Spangled. Huh...wonder what it will be...silver laced?????

 

[Eggsakly]

It's a Columbian. It will be white with black in the neck, tips of wings and tail. https://www.google.com/search?q=buf...ih=678#tbm=isch&q=columbian+wyandotte&spf=532


The would make a lovely complement to your buffs, don't you think?

 

[Alaskan]

Haha!

Actually. ....chicks are hatching right now!

I can't remember now if I have an egg from my blue bantam Wyandotte in there (but chicks would be crossed). The first 2 that have already hatched are from my bantam Wheaten Ameraucanas. Cute little buggers.

I have been searching for bantam partridge rocks for 2 years.
I came across some bantam partridge wyandottes eggs that were somewhat local and couldn't resist.
They are under my broody now with a couple of BBS ORP bantams for company.
Fingers crossed for fuzzy babies in 3 weeks.

That is a gorgeous pattern.

I hope you have a good hatch.

How many eggs?
