What quality are these SLW?

[guinea fowl galore]

So what do you all think? I am thinking I might be able to show these but I don't know as I have never had any before.

Hen

Rooster. the white colour on his back is more of a cream. I don't know why it looks so white in the picture.

They are only about 20 weeks old, so they still have a bit of changing to do.

Hi Teale!

I don't really know much about the SLW, except that they are just beautiful birds! Are these some that you hatched?

Do you have a , "Standard of Perfection," in Australia? If so, maybe it would have a picture???

Beautiful birds, for sure!

I think they are gorgeous!

wow that was fast

.
yes I hatched these ones. they are from the last hatch that I did. when these ones and the Light Sussex start laying I am hoping to fill the bator, yipee

I can't wait. right now I don't really have anything worth hatching.
I didn't think of looking them up. I'll do that now and tell you what I find.

thank you.
I love them too.
The roosters are so funny, one is a bit mean and pecks me when I try and touck it but the other is so scared all the time and the few times I have picked it up it always does this big runny poo all over me

His plan works, I don't pick him up anymore

Hey, how are your Light Sussex doing? I got a few more, and I got some Coronations. How many do you have now? Weren't they your favorites?

you finaly got your coronations. you must be so excited.

I have 10 of the light sussex ( good ones anyway ) and they are still my favorite. I just can't wait till they start laying. when did yours start?

 

[kathyinmo]

Yes, finally got them .... just this month in fact.

I can't remember, but I think they started laying at about 6 months old. I really do love the Light Sussex, too.
