Here are the latest pictures of my "mixed up" batch of Wyandottes. They are 9 days old.

We just hatched another bunch yesterday. This time I had the eggs partitioned and have banded them. Hopefully this will shed some light as to who is Blue Laced Red, Black Laced Red and Gold Laced. We have 3 roosters that produced these chicks.

Well I was beginning to wonder if I had the most unfriendly wyndottes ever. My SL I got at point of lay. She will walk around near, but doesn't want to be touched. wont eat out of my hand like the other chickens. I bought two GL chicks and they seemed to be acting the same. The are 3months old now and I have started introducing them and some other chicks the same age into the flock. I was walking by doing chores and one of them flew up about waist high and was up against me just flapping her wings. I thought is this thing trying to flog me. I put my hand down and scooped her up and she pro ceded to move to my shoulder. She has decided to be a pet. I sat down to hold her a minuet and the other GL and a mixed roo that's about the same age all came over and climbed up. I thought to my self Central Park has the Pigeon lady , I'm now the chicken lady. lol I know that its not that unusual, but this was a first for me.

Awesome! All my chickens would let me pick them up. Only one roo my oldest. But that's ok with me. I don't really want them to be lap chickens or really even pets. I love them all very much, but when it's time for a good chicken dinner I don't want to have to butcher Charley!!

Yeah there is no way I can eat them. There is a problem with that. I guess if I was starving, but for now they are safe.
