The Wyandotte Thread

[NanaKat]

Blackgum....you have made nice progress with both the Barred and the Silver Penciled.

I'm still working on the Columbian and Blue Columbian. While I still have a few of the Black Birchen, it is not going to be a major focus this year. I will continue to breed and save the nicer birds, but want to concentrate on the Columbian.
I purchased a trio of White Wyandotte from Larry Dye back in Dec at the Shawnee show to bring in better combs on the cock birds.

@sueiris :

Pictures 1-3 show a good round chest and good horizontal wing carriage.
The first picture shows a better tail than the last picture and also the shoulders are wider, which is a good thing.
You got yourself some very good quality chocolate Wyandottes!

Before I disappear into the beginning of this thread, I am wondering if anyone is currently working with gold-laced Wyandottes?

So excited to be hatching Blue Wyandottes in March...so pretty

Breeding flock Wyandotte bantam redporcelain.
There's a blue laced golden hen with the flock to work towards the redporcelain Wyandotte with blue markings.



This little hen, born on the first of January, will get me one step closer to the redporcelain blue marked Wyandotte.
Her 2 sisters and 6 brothers ended up black. I wasn't lucky...
But this one hen is a start.



The second flock.
The rooster looks a bit weird on this picture because he just had a dustbath.
And the flamingo-pose isn't that flattering for his type as well.



Greetings from Belgium!

Hello! I am planning on getting some BLRW to show. When it comes to showtime, can you tell me what I am looking for in a good show bird. Also do you know any good breeders?

It looks like a pullet to me.
