Well we finally got all the wyandottes separated in their own coops. SLWs and BLRWs have their own coops/runs.
Soooo Turbos!!! of the 16 SLW Chicks you sent me (none have died by the way, healthy little bugers

8 are hens and 8 are roosters! I couldn't be happier! Thanks! Now I have plenty of Roosters to choose from. Oh and all have rose combs!

Turbo, are you selling chicks now??

This years' hatch is finally "grown" - still have some filling out to do though! I know they're not fetching a Best in Show title, but I'm pretty pleased with them

The only downside is I bought 6 SLW chickens from a breeder hoping for a roo (as I only have GLW roo atm) and all 6 turned out to be pullets

Oh well - next year huh?!

Yep, there's always next year. On the bright side, you could always make sex-linked wyandottes with a gold rooster over silver hens, right?

I sure can! And will - though that'll give GLW pullets and mix roos... It will bring new genes to the GLW flock though, so it's the plan come spring. (It's very hany though, as I can weed out all the roo chickens after a week or two!) We'll have to get some fresh blood in our SLW flock, so need to look elsewhere for a new SLW roo

I already have my eye on one breeder's flock so hoping they'll have hatching eggs come spring!

Anyone willing to sell SLW eggs or BLRW eggs?

Littlecrekfarm is going to try and breed some BLRW chicks this spring or summer.
