Did you check him for mites? those little buggers can really take the weight off a bird in a hurry by stressing them.

I didn't but he has been inside so I doubt that would be it.... even if he had them the pour on Ivermectin should take care of them right?

Correct. I usually use 1/4 cc for an adult LF. is that about what you use? might give him some yogurt , scrambled egg and 1/4 tsp of crushed Brewer's yeast in his food to boost his biotics and protein.

I have some probiotics I can give hem and eggs would be EASY LOL tons of pullet eggs. I used 2 drops on the back of the neck.

I keep seeing folks refer to wynadottes as: red laced, blue laced, black laced, white laced, red laced blue, black laced blue, blue laced red - etc. I am so confused. Are each of these destinct breeds?
Here are some pictures that I pulled off of google images.
The first 2 are a silver laced and a gold laced.

FINALLY I have 5 of 8 SLW eggs from my younger roo growing. I moved my other pullet that was with the older SLW roo in with the younger roo.... I did get 1 fertile egg from her when she was with him so maybe more to come.

Happy dance! That is great! I hope the older roo gets his weight back soon. How old is he?

Silver Laced Wyandotte
Gold Lace Wyandotte(with a single comb, which it should have a rose comb)
Gold Lace Wyandotte
Blue Lace Red Wyandotte (blue)



Blue Lace Red Wyandotte (splash)

Agree with above. The Blue laced red(BLR) color is not recognized yet. Some folks go crazy making up names(black laced, red laced) -but they are all BLR in color, just either blue, black or splash-just like the non-laced birds..
