The Wyandotte Thread

That's kind of what I was thinking. I still hope maybe she's just feathering in more slowly because she's a different breed...but at 1 week old she doesn't have any noticeable tail feathers while all of my other chicks have very distinct little tails.

And "Buffy," one of my EE chicks for comparison

Definitely time will tell. I had one silver laced wyandotte that was way behind in feathering out, no tail feathers and noticeably smaller than everyone else, too. It was like she was two weeks younger than the others although all were born the same day. I thought I wouldn't be able to put her out in the coop/run with the others. I thought she was going to be a roo, too but she is a she, only a little smaller than the others now, tough as nails. Don't know if she's laying yet.

Ok, I'm going to try this again! ANYONE know a breeder (besides Paul's Poultry) that sells Silver Penciled, Silver Laced, and columbian??? (Of show quality, not hatchery or "so so")

Also, any tips on how to sell my hatchery stock birds? Have some wyandottes and buff orps and dominiques I'd like to sell, just don't know how...

Thanks in advance!

As for selling, place an aution here on BYC. Make it clear that these are from so and so hatchery. Post photos. See what happens.

Does anybody have pictures of Dun Laced Wyandottes?

I am in pensacola FL, I have show quality Silver Laced Wyandottes Standards. I have won champion large fowl at several shows, and reserve , and several best of breeds and reserve of breeds. My stock orginally started with Buddy Henry, and The Foleys, and have added Guardhouse to the mix. I have a few adults and some younger ones. If I can be help call or email me. Will not ship to hot here.

Here are a couple question wyandottes for ya!

These we bought from another person as blue laced red wyandottes. Are they or are they splash?



and here's a couple pics of what was shipped to us as part of an order. almost the whole order died, and we aren't sure if these are the blue laced red that they are supposed to be, or golden laced which is not something that was shipped even as packing peanuts?



and here is one where one bird of each is next to each other, you can see the comparasion


thanks for your attention and let me know what you think!

The first two are Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. But they are the splash version. When BLRW mate (and this also applies to any birds with blue genes) a certain percentage of offspringes are blue and I think about 25% are splash.

Number 3 and 4 are Gold Laced Wyandotte.

#3 & #4 could be Black Laced Reds. The gold should be a mahogany red on the Black Laced Reds, but you will see the gold on many birds especially where Golden Laced Wyandottes have been crossed into them in the past. It looks like yours does have some red on their backs.

Just viewed the "FEATHERSITE" website which has the most pictures that I know of as far as Wyandottes and I did not see any Black Laced Reds, but what do I know ? nada ! But the pictures of the brown or so called Porcelain are gorgeous and I want some. How do you breed that variety ?
