Wyandottes??

[Newfarmer36]

Yes, they do.

Sounds good to me then! I want to end up having a bunch of chickens.

Silver is even more common then golden. Live dangerously. Get a silver and a golden.

Do they take good care of their babies?

Lazy.. the hatch dates are staggered so a couple first hatches get sat on. My Jersey Giants have far less fatality rates. I discourage broodiness this time of year but the Dottes do what the are hardwired to do.
My Silver Laced never Broody. Golden are content to sit back and relax v.s. scratch & scour for snacks n such.

I don't have any yet. It'll probably be a little while bc I can only find pairs right now.

I want a columbian wyandotte and golden laced wyandotte one day.

 

[Tiana's chickens]

They are fantastic chickens, lay a decent amount of eggs (not as much as some but enough) often go broody and mine have always been good mothers.
At the moment i have some silver laced chicks (9weeks old) a splash laced red chick (10wks) a blue laced red chick (10wks) and some gold Wyandotte crosses (incorrect lacing but still beautiful!)
these are some photos of them

Splash laced red chick (their lacing will look better when they are older)

Silver laced chicks!

I liked my wyandotte so much that I got another one. I only have a small mixed flock (5 pullets). It's the only breed I have 2 of!

This is my first time keeping chiickens. I started in March 2017 with 5 SLW chicks, hoping for 5 hens, but ended up with 4 roosters and one hen. Long story short i now have 2 gorgouse hens and one Beautiful gentleman rooster. I'm hoping to expand my flock this spring by having baby chicks the old fashioned way. It;s encouraging to hear Wyandottes tend to get broody and make good mothers. That's what I'm hoping for. Right now,even in the cold winter, I'm getting 2 eggs most every day.

I bought 2 of them today! Silver laced. They're smaller than the hens I have now. I thought they were much bigger but I still love em!!

So, I was on YouTube last night looking at chickens. I found this one that was absolutely gorgeous to me!! Are they good egg layers? I found someone that has some. The only problem is that they're selling them in pairs. I got rid of 1 rooster this evening bc I only have 4 hens and everyone said that I don't need 2 roosters for that small amount. If I get these, then I'll have 2 roosters again..
