The Wyandotte Thread

[gilavina]

Hi Everyone! I haven't been around on BYC for awhile but I'm glad to see the Wyandotte Thread is as strong as ever!

I have been working on Golden Laced for a while but I have decided to focus on Partridge and Silver Pencilled. That means I've still got a few nice GL (3 Pullets, 1 cockerel, 1 Adult Pair) and a few SL to go with (4 SL hens). Some of you may remember my post from last fall with some rather immature pics. Well, you'll be glad you waited because they only got better Lots better...

The whole lot has to go, so someone help me out and make a visit to Indiana Swap meet season is coming up soon

Here are a few pics:

Are the Silver Penciled you are working on Large Fowl? They are hard to find, so just curious and would love to see photos if they are large fowl!

Yes they are LF. Don't have any pics right now, but I might take some eventually They still need some work, tho. Maybe next year would be better

very good lady! I'm hoping for the same luck with the columbians I'm going to set tonight!

I used on of my Cockerels. I have 2 that are very nice and the Cock but He never gave me any chicks..... not in MONTHS. I think my other roos would be just a fertile. I may give him another try in a few weeks with a couple of pullets. I kinda think they are wanting to go broody.

BUT if I can get these to hatch that will be a HUGE help. Of the few chicks I have gotten maybe 6-7, I only have 2 pullets

Good luck Vicki! I saw those eggs NICE! I hope you have a good hatch and make lots of progress this year.

I know there is a TEST in this so I hope I guess right... cuz that is what it is a guess.

Thanks Donna. No test, just wanted your opinion. Hoping I get some pullets to keep.
