The Wyandotte Thread

Ok Wyandotte experts, I need help with this birds ID. He came from a Breeder which I won't mention and was supposed to be a pure bred. I sent the breeder this pic and he claims not to be able to tell from this photo. I don't think he wants to admit I may have been shipped mutts. Some people think it may be a cross between two different Wyandotte colors? Lots of greens and reddish brown mixed in. When he was a chick, people speculated SPW. Thoughts?

These chicks are now 33 days old and have been adopted by a fellow chicken owner. Here are some pics, if you would be kind enough to comment on type and sex of the chicken, I would appreciate it.



In the picture above, the chick in the front with salmon breast is one of those that did not look like the BLRWs, The stance looks like a cockerel to me? What do you think?





Here is a closer look at the same chick in the pic above and below





Here are some pics of the Splash chicks above and below, any one stands out as a cockerel vs pullet?



In this pic above, there is another non BLRW chick with Salmon breast, does it look like a pullet?



Splash chicks again


The 2 darker BLRW chicks in the pic above, still too early to sex or any signs?


Thanks in advance for all your comments!

Anyone wants to take a shot on sexing these chicks?

Most SP have been mixed with partridge. You will get this leakage of color, like the bird pictured. Just takes a few breedings to lighten them up again.

Quote: I saw coloring like that on my bantams too.

Ok.. I need opinions. I have been researching wyandotte color genetics for a while now, and still am not completely sure of everything. We have 4 SLW pullets, 4 BLRW (1 possible roo), and 1 GLW roo... still fairly young. We only want one rooster, so my husband and I have been debating on which to keep if it turns out we have two. We will possibly be hatching some chicks in the future to keep for ourselves, or selling chicks to other backyard chicken keepers in the neighborhood. We don't need show quality perfection, but just wondering which would be the better color roo to keep for something like this.
