Easy to keep bright yellow legs on a Black Wyandotte male, a little harder on a female.

Who did you order them from? I am waiting on mine from Duane Urch.

yes, Duane Urch, got the call early because his white jersey giant cock died and he needed to substitute (8:30am central)

Hi All, i have a question regarding single combs, i know they are a disqualification, but i was wondering if they bred true. If i got a single combed wyandotte and bred it to another single combed wyandotte or other single combed bird, would the single come come out 100% in the chicks?

Yes single comb (rr) birds can only pass on the gene for single combs.

(discussion of the single comb reminded me of this) One of my friends is restarting her silver laced orpington project. All her project birds were killed by a possum sadly. She was needing single combed SL wyandottes and I had none

. I'll still be giving her some of mine to work with but am really excited about the results

. I may even dabble in it and see what I get. I have a really nice black orpington and will be getting a great black orpington soon from my friend. I wish I had more breeding pens!
