The Wyandotte Thread

[Jtabor1387]

I would love to have some GLW females in my flock... I thought I read that I could get some GLW pullets by crossing a GLW roo with a SLW hen.  Is that right?  

That is correct it works the same way on silvers too.

Does anyone know where I can order Silver Laced Wyandotte hatching eggs in Canada (specifically BC/Vancouver Island)? I am also looking for Light Brahmas and Barnvelders. Thanks!

You might be able to order them from Murray Mcmurray, but i would call them to find out.

I have a silver laced wyandotte that is particularly aggressive, it's only about two weeks old now but it actively attacks me any time I put my hand into the brooder. Has anyone else ever had this issue with this breed or did I get a literal bad egg? Also could the aggressive behavior possibly mean I have a rooster? Will post pics soon to see if that helps. I have always read this breed is sweet and mellow but not my baby! It charges my hands and pecks me any time I am in the brooder, even if I am on the other side changing out waters and such.

Sorry for your loss

since your in Florida maybe it was the high humidity that killed your girl.

Its hot but this summer has been a little milder than most. Humidity is very high always. Could have been the culprit but not sure my SLW was the biggest of all my chicks but my GLW(whose my favorite) is fine. Oh well I'll be replacing her this weekend and might come home with a few extras!
