The Wyandotte Thread

[Lapeerian]

Looking forward to more pics! Maybe it'll still be a BLR but just with slightly different pattern. I noticed even speckled sussex look like that as chicks (same as welsummers). If the comb is the same as the others (rose comb) it's probably still a BLR or partridge wyandotte. It would be interesting if you post photos of it as it grows up, compared to the others. (fun to watch them grow up no matter the result - cute pics!)

@TinyBirds @Fancychooklady @DMRippy and everyone else who is still interested in the fate of these chicks, here are some pics from yesterday. The chicks with eyeliners have single combs so they are definitely different. Feel free to make your guesses, I won't get offended.


Here is another pic side by side with 2 others with pea-combs Picture got rotated while inserting so dont know how to fix it. But the one sitting on edge of storage box and the one closest to water are in question compared to the other 2 with dark heads and pea combs.

I hatched out some Wellie eggs that has GLW as main roo. My 4 chicks are feathering the same - solid red chest, patterned backs/wings with straight combs. Mishmash but hopefully good layer mutts for me

For the color red porcelain I could chose my next breeding roosters out of 12 youngsters.
These 4 were chosen :

I hatched 16 hens, 9 will be staying :

I was lucky to get 2 hens from another breeder

Looking for a breeder with wyandottes of any variety besides gold and silver laced, as close to central new york as possible. Pullets only, not looking to breed.

Excuse my ignorance, but whats the difference between Porcelain and Jubilee. I have seen the same pattern being called Jubilee among Orpingtons.
