The Wyandotte Thread

[maceman88]

Hello Wyandotte Lovers!

I am thinking about adding a Wyandotte to my flock, could you let me know about the pros and cons of Wyandottes and what you think about the following types :
Silver Laced
Gold Laced
Buff Laced
Blue Laced Red
Barred

What type is your favourite? Do you have any photos of your hens and their eggs?

Thanks in advance!

The first 2 were taken this morning and the 3rd one was last night I searched and searched for her ....she nested in my new lawnmower catch bag lol figured I'd share that one I thought it was pretty funny lol

This will be the rooster I will use next year.
He is now 5 months old and looks promising concerning type and color.




Some promising hens of the same age





These young hens are 3,5 months old and look promising as well.

Still working on the color blue marked jubilee.
This year I crossed a jubilee cockerel with splash and blue laced golden hens.
Next year The F1 will put together with a good jubilee cockerel.

jubilee x blue laced gold hens


jubilee x splash hens




All the "project birds"

It has been suggested that one of my SLWs is a cockerel. Opinions, please? Age 11 weeks.

Hi @DMRippy ,

How is your porcelain project going?
Is the F1 already running around in those awesome looking pallet pens?

No. Might be a splash version of BLRW.

Wait there is a color that looks like a splash..... what is that color? Rarer color, I only heard of it about a year ago.... old color too.
