Thank you - I do think Wyatt is a quite nice looking chicken! I'm really hoping Wyatt staysIf I had to guess based on how red his face is and how big his wattles are already I assume he’s a boy!!! Very handsome tho!!
Thank you! I hope so! I’ve read that Wyandotte Roos are sometimes aggressive, but I know every chicken has a different personality, and so far he’s lovely.
We’ll just my personal experience is 50/50! If you get one from a hatchery it tends to be aggressive at least the 2 I had gotten and they continued getting more aggressive as they got older ( I didn’t have them at the same time but one was a Wyandotte and one was a lavender Orpington )! But the 2 roosters I have now TOGETHER are the best boys!! They are both A little on the shy side actually but loves to be fed treats and follows my around!!
Okay, I have to ask, what’s a “White wing bow”?That's a significant set of comb and wattles so you're definitely right to be suspicious, but Wyandottes are known to be deceptive.
I don't see any sign of the male white wing bow -- though it might be a little early for that.
I lean male, but don't be too surprised if it does turn out to be female.
Wow! This is a great explanation, the pictures were especially helpful. TY
Wyandotte roosters have a distinctive color pattern and the white wing bow shows up early before the male saddles and hackles.
One of my Wyandotte females scared me badly by having poor-quality lacing that mimiced that white wing bow when she was about 8 weeks.
Yeah, Wyatt is going to be very handsome
Thank you so much!Yeah, Wyatt is going to be very handsome
This is really helpful - thank you for sharing this. I think I see the beginnings of sickle feathers on Wyatt.
