Hi all!
I’ve got a golden laced and a blue laced red wyandotte who still aren’t laying yet at nearly 28 weeks. My other three (EE’s and an Aussie) have been laying for what feels like forever now. What gives? Anyone with either of these wyandottes have a similar experience?
I am new here and new to chickens. Exactly one week New. Lol. We have 4 in total. Black Jersey Giant- no clue of age
Cochin also no clue of age but the leg feathers are coming in.
2 Golden Laced Wyandottes hatched 7/24
Questions:
Any guesses as to the age of the Jersey out Cochin?
Do any of...
I was so convinced my sweet chick daisy was a girl she is a lap chick already and I had thoughts others may be Roos but not her and now she is looking the most like she may actually be a male after all? Red comb forming also has red wattles coming in, “she” is 3 weeks old! Thoughts??? She is an...
Hello! We got a large mixture of chicks 7 weeks ago. They’re about 7.5 weeks old now. One i did not order but received is what i believe to be a Golden Laced Wyandotte. It lost a good amount of feathers. No mites or lice detectable. I’m afraid it could’ve been a heat lamp/over crowding issue in...
Well the chicks are nearly 4 weeks as the title says and they are really filling out especially the Pekins!
Nugget (the more yellow one) is as bold as brass, seemingly fearless.
Kiev (the more reddish one) is more timid and cuddly of the two.
Heihei is the GLW who's feathering so much...
So how I understood reading some genetics? threads, SLW roo with a GLW hen will give SLW hens and GLW roos.
So if I pair my two GLW hens with SLW roo and get a GLW roo, can I then breed the new GLW roo with GLW hens and get both roos and hens GL?
First time chick mama here. This is an 8 week old GLW from Meyer hatchery. Any chance it’s a pullet as we were told when purchased?? Thanks for your help!
I am wondering about the age/signs of egg laying first time chicken owner here. They are 23 weeks old, we live in Michigan though. Will they lay this fall yet??
My chicken Blanche is a 2 year old GLW. I have been noticing in the past few days she's peen PULLING OUT HER OWN FEATHERS. I even saw her eat a few, I'm not sure it was intentional or not. One of her shoulders has a big bald spot. She is focusing on her shoulders and the side of her body. She's...
Hello! I was wondering if you guys had any though of what sex these SLW and GLW may be? I though only Chico may be a rooster but unsure. They are 7 weeks old.
Okay, I know that she (I am hoping she’s a girl anyway haha) LOOKS like a GLW...BUT!! I am seeing some interesting color starting to show in her feathers...is it possible she may still be a BLRW like I was told when I bought her?? I’m fine either way, all Wyandottes are beautiful. :)
This morning I thought my 18 week old glw was going to lay her first egg. She was hunched down and actually coming near me and letting me pet her and normally she looks at me and likes to run away. When I got back from my doctors appointment she was dead. I go to clean her up and my 8-10 week...
This is my boy El Diablo...he is most definitely a butthead but I love him and I love his colors. He crows all the time and he lives up to his name by waking me up this morning at 4am at my back door and not stopping until 4:40am. I cannot figure out what breed he is. The store had him marked as...
Hi!
New chicken owner here.. right now am worried that one of my two GLWs may be a roo.. I have attached photos of the roo in question and the other (circled in blue not green). The questionable one has a much pinker comb which makes me think maybe a roo, but I know it's early. No real...
I know I’ve posted before about this chicken but I swear it’s a cockerel. The attitude, the size and the color of the comb and wattle makes me think cockerel but I am new to being a chicken owner so what the heck do I know lol All my other chickens have pale combs and wattles. None of them are...
Hi guys-
I have 6 GLW's all about 3 months old. Blanche, my biggest girl, has all of a sudden developed a hard time standing in one place for more than 30 seconds and kind of walks a little wobbly. I've been monitoring her all morning (noticed this last night just before dark) and she still...
