The Wyandotte Thread

[Bleenie]

Hey Everyone, Wanted to share a picture of my Black cockeral. My mothers been raising a group of chicks for me and he's been with them but tonight I finally remembered my camera when I went over there. He is one of PeakyBeaky's babies He's a Monster already. Just 3 months old and nearly as big as my 10 month odl niece! Just starting to get his beautiful roo feathers too.




A few of my other 'Dotte babies... These are from my birds. Most of the Splash ended up being roos.

Well my stargazer chick died.... but it was probably for the best. There may have been something else wrong. It did seem to have a hard time breathing.

Awww... poor little one. Life just isn't fair.

[Black Cochin Bantams]

I have about 70 Cochin bantams in 7 varieties and show 5 of those varieties. I decided I would not get another variety or breed that would show in the same class. After looking at the Ohio Nationals and seeing NO Gold Laced Bantams I decided to try to find some decent GLW bantams. This is what I found.

This is a link to some information I posted on the Farm and homesteading thread that is of interest to Wyandottes. I weighed birds in my breeder pens and photographed them too.

it seems bantam cochins and bantam wyandottes might go hand-in-hand... since i aded the bantam blrw's last summer.

I understand that one of the reasons is that the Cochins are involved in the lineage of the Wyandottes. They certainly have many similiar characteristics ...personality, flocking instincts, broodiness, motherly instincts, weather tolerance, fertility, feathering,foraging skill.....
