Is this a decent GLW Roo?





Can't get to close when I have the camera, lol

Type is very poor. I see white on his ear lobes=a D/Q & his colour isn't very good either. So, no, he's not a decent male if you're planning on working toward producing show worthy Wyandottes.

I got two each golden and silver laced. At almost 7 weeks old is their anyway to tell the difference between a hen or roo? Do Roos feather in slower?

Yes, as a general rule. But not always.

New to Wyandottes here. It will be a couple of months, but I have SLWs and GLWs. One SLW is a roo who I want to breed occasionally with the hens. Am I okay to put him with one of my GLWs, or could it ruin the resulting chicks' colors/lacing? What colors would I end up with?

This is from Rudy Troxel. Great breeder of Wyandottes. This is what he told me in an email.

"Get your hands on a decent/good male and cross him on Silver Females. That's the easiest way to get good ones. I'm sure someone down your way has good SL and you can probably come up with at least a male GL somewhere relatively local. You'll have good females in the first generation and good males in the second."
