The Wyandotte Thread

It is a cockerel because of its coloring. Pullets will be laced all over. Cockerels will be darker with lacing only on the chest. Yours is a hatchery bird and not colored very well so you will not see one like him probably. But the silver in the wings and in the hackles is a cockerel thing not a pullet thing.

My birds are from a top breeder in the country so they have a lot more silver but notice they are NOT LACED except on the chest.

Stunning!!!!

Thanks but I can only take credit for buying them.

I am down to the last four Blue Laced Red Wyandottes roosters of this year that I am selling. They are about 6 months and asking 20 a piece. I am 15 minutes south of Louisville on I-65 if anyone is interested. Let me know if you would like to see pictures.

Do you ship? And are they blue, black, or splash?

I am looking for Buff Laced Wyandottes sometime this spring, anyone have any idea where I can get some? I've looked online and can't seem to find anyone

I can ship but the shipping price you may be better to find some closer to home. All have now is blue and splash but I will be hatching again this spring.

I'm working on it, but it may be a year or two.

Okay I have a question for the breeders out there.

What would be the best way to create bantam SLW. I have LF SLW and want bantams however the person I was going to buy from sold his entire flock so I will have to make my own. What should I breed to my large fowl to keep the color and decrease the size?

Thank You!

Which would you keep?

We absolutely LOVE both these birds. Unfortunately, we have to downsize and will be getting rid of one. We have a mixed flock of RIRs, BCMs, and EE's. We MIGHT let a hen hatch out a few eggs each spring (to keep for our own flock or sell as barnyard mix), but other than that we will not be breeding. I don't know the SOPs or anything, just curious on your thoughts about the way each bird looks and which might give more variety of chicks each spring.

Bue Laced Red Black cockerel needs a new home.
He is a beautiful bird located in North Idaho originally out of Foley lines, bred by Chickenhill Farms. Good temperament and not an all day crower.

Free, of course, to a good home.
