The Wyandotte Thread

[Alaskan]

Hello there

Thought I'd drop by to share two pics of my almost 3 month old LF black wyandotte pullet.

Nice looking pullet, great yellow legs.

My SLW pullet, she’s 12 weeks, I’m soooo impatient for her full coloring to come in!

Question: Gold laced wyandonettes...when should I expect them to start laying?

I have 3 that are 23 weeks. Their vents are still small and no one is squatting yet. Yes, they are pullets. All three have straight combs. Got them from Hoover's.

It kinda looks like it has saddle feathers.

I won't even be sad.

The bird based on face may be a girl but,those are not saddle feathers.

many GlW are 5 months and one has started squatting and the other started around 4 months.

Lovely pics!! Such s pretty bird.




Welllllll, stopped at local TSC a few days ago and just had to look at chicks. Asked a few questions and desided , no. Then last night my brain flipped a switch, lol, and I just had to have more wyandottes.

Bought 20 . Unclear on variety, though could eliminate the columbian colored as those are whitish-gray. Lady made effort to show me wings which had feathered out a bit.....chicks been there a while. Some feathers black and white. Some red and black.Not

When I checked Hoover's website, where TSC sources its chicks, the only options are SLW and GLW.

Fingers crossed.

Did some reading on background of breed.
