The Wyandotte Thread

Silver Columbian is the color. They need pattern gene Pg and Melonotic Ml to be laced They don't look like they have that. They don't have rose combs. Are you sure of their parentage?
I had some Red broiler over SLW that looked something like that, but they had wyandotte rose combs.

This is the only one with a rose comb

Yes, They should be silver laced, when they reach their adult plumage. Hens will be gold or silver depending on their father. if he is SS they will be S- . Any cockerels would be Ss which usually look silver with a slight yellowish tint. If you had a gold laced rooster over silvers you would have a sex link cross. Gold laced hens and Ss roosters.

Almost looks Columbian here.
Silver Laced Wyandotte are rose comb as that is the Standard for all Wyandotte.
These are some of my Columbian....
From hatch to adult...not in order.

A cock selected for the next show....when ever that may be..


Young juveniles before the cull process. These are 4 to 6 weeks and are ready to go out to free range.


The dye on the forehead is a chick from my show line.


The wing should have a nice crisp white edge on the black primary feathers. The cape and tail should be separated by a clean white zone.

I just received two blue splash red wyandottes in the mail. Do you have any idea if they are more in the blue, splash, or black range?

Most of my flock are Wyandotte’s. Here are some of mine and they are 8 weeks old. Not sure what type of Wyandotte the second picture is though. I think it was suppose to be my other blue lace red but it looks nothing like my other one. What do you all think? Also will they get more coloration as they get older?

I think the first picture with the two birds and the last one are BLRW. The second and third might be SLW, although that one is darker than I have seen them.
