The Wyandotte Thread

[Farmer Viola]

I could not give you percentages..
The people who have been breeding birds for many more years than I have been have a saying about *breed or don't breed on what you see*. It is said so much better than I could possibly say it and I hope you can understand what I mean.
Many genes are hidden, but you select birds on visuals. You definitely do not bred a bird that you know has hidden faults either.
She has a DQ..keep her as an egg layer or make her soup. Someone else will possibly bred her. If you can find someone who lives in town and can only have hens that would be a good choice too. You have options.

Okay... I hear you

I think I have made the decision not to breed her brothers, either. Thanks so much for your help!

An ignorant question, but, is that good?

You do not want to use a double breast in Wyandotte breeding programs. Some Judges will also DQ for double breast. If she is double breasted..she is pet quality. I hope it is just the picture and the wind..she is too cute.

Thank you. No i don't have a male yet. I am buying one next week.
Do you know what you would get if you crossed her with a columbian wyandotte rooster?
