The Wyandotte Thread

Napoleon?

This little guy has such " little man " syndrome . He climbs up on this 4 bale high stack of mulch hay. Loves to look down on the " big boys "

He's so handsome, I'd say beautiful but not sure that's what you would say a roo!

Today we're getting the tail end of some off shore storm. ... It's pouring rain and the wind is supposed to get to 40mph this afternoon. I figured the girls would hang out in the coop or at least under it. .. nope. ... they've been running around like normal, not even hanging out under the Cedar trees where it's a lot drier. They look like drowned rats.

No hens

only a brother , who he's bestest buddies with. When I purchased them, they were meant to be a " breeding " pair.
They are such lovely little guys, and yes " Napoleon " would be a perfect name Scott. I shall name them Napoleon & Joseph. They are penned with a couple of glw and a silver pencilled Wyandotte . I have a pretty little Wyandotte x Silkie that I'm considering mating with them.

But I wll keep an eye out for some Colombian hens.

That's funny, mine make a beeline back to the coop as soon as the wind picks up. I think that they instinctively know not to hang around under the trees , in high wind.
Nicalandia, your wybars, are lovely.

Mine almost never go back to the coop, except to lay. ... we'll see what they do with a couple of feet of snow.
Wife wants me to put a heat lamp on them.

Update: A good one!

The white Wyandotte rooster we had with the fly strike. He has healed up 100%. From an area that was larger than my hand-open to his breast meat, now totally healed. He is also getting feather back. The only fault he has now is when he healed up, he has some scar tissue that grew that now makes him hop, instead of walk. But he's alive, health and doing great. (the picture is before the injury).
