Wyandottes??

[AmeliaBedelia]

Not all wyandottes are laced, but laced ones are the most popular/well known. They are pretty birds!!

ETA - Yours I mean. I like the blue color.

Wait, so can you get bottom of foot colors of each bird?

Thanks! We really enjoy them. Lots of personality too.

I looked awhile back when they were roosting for the night this has been an ongoing saga of trying to figure out just what they are

So they both have yellow bottoms? I am confident the one with a rose comb is a Wyandotte (assuming yellow skin) I am just skeptical that the other one is just one with a single comb

I thought that was quick!

Okay now I’m even more confused. The rose comb with the light eyes has yellow bottoms, the single combs are not as bright yellow. The darkest color rose comb in line to lay (they all fight over one box) but hers do not look as yellow from what I can see.
Pic 1: rose comb, light eyes
Pic 2: single comb
Pic 3: single comb
Pic 4: rose comb, darker color. Will check again but she’s the hardest to catch

Check out the pics! Not sure if the single combs are considered yellow bottom?

Some hatchery "Wyandottes" do have single combs. It has to do with the genes involved, but it's not particularly rare.

But the ones with single combs could just as easily be one of the hybrid types with blue feathers who lay brown eggs, that have been showing up in stores and hatcheries recently.

It's common for hens with yellow skin to become less yellow as they lay eggs--some of the yellow goes into the egg yolks, but when they stop laying to molt their skin gets more yellow again. It doesn't hurt the chickens, but can be surprising when you first notice the change.

I *think* I remember there also being some called production blues. They all lay brown eggs though. That one is the only one with light eyes. The other with a rose comb also has black eyes (she is also much darker than the rest all over), like the single combs.
They all have blue/black legs and feet.

Do they have any red. Heres my production blues. They're blue australorps with rhode island reds.
