wyandottes

Long time lurker, first time participator! We’ve owned chickens for 10 years and added an aviary with coturnix quail this past fall. We is my husband and two kids. We live in MI. Our current flock is 3 silver laced Wyandotte and 3 gold laced Wyandotte hens, raised from chicks this spring.

Things are going well on the BarQ. Three of the six hens started laying in November and are continuing to lay for now. Had an issue with the Leghorn’s comb. Had to go to SC because our Dad passed at 95. Came home to the tips of her comb blackened and the remainder was grey. But, treating...

We have a small flock of 4 backyard laying hens. We are looking to add another 2 hens (live in city limits, so we can have 6 hens total, and hopefully on the quieter end, pullet chicks). We have 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks, a Sapphire Gem and a Sapphire Olive Egger. All are pretty great foragers...

Here are two of my beauties ❤️

I would like to be able to take educated guesses on genders of chicks. I have received lots of responses on my chicks with gender guesses but I would like to know why the guesses are made. I have this SLW. I was told a female when I purchased it from a local store. When I posted her on here...

Hello! Looking to buy Wyandottes chicks in Ocala, FL or near by area. Please feel free to message me if you can help me find them! Thank you! :) -David

Got some roosters from a friend and he got them from rural king and one of them from a breeder. One is supposed to be a blue Sapphire gem. And the other two wyandottes. They don't really look both like wyandottes to me. One has straight comb and more black.

Sorry, but asking again. I’m trying to make sure this is looking like a pullet and not a cockerel. She’s about 9-10 weeks, bit more. She really likes to strut around with her tail up high. She’s also getting more of a comb than the others, with one little bead. I don’t know much about this...

My daughter and I are starting to raise chickens for eggs and entertainment. We have read a lot of tips on the internet about runs. I put some logs, stumps, big rocks and planted them a veggie garden. Anyone have any tips on how to get the shy chickens to interact with the other chickens and...

Hi everyone, I have recently purchased 2 gold laced wyandottes and i am hoping to eventually enter them in my local show. I was just wondering what traits/colour/appearance is looked for in gold laced wyandottes? Thank you

I recently bought five, month-and-a-half-old chicks of different breeds. The man told us that they all should be pullets, but he wasn’t sure. There are two golden laced wyandottes, two red laced wyandottes, and I can’t remember what he said the last one was. I raise them as pets, and for the...

Hi all, I am wondering what age we can move our chicks to the coop. I have seen so many different articles on when to actually let them in the coop outside. We have 14 Easter Egger Hens and they are currently 2 weeks and 2 days. We are starting to build the coop, now that we finally have nice...

So my little flock is ranging in age from 4.5-5.5 weeks and I do believe I have spotted two, possibly three, roosters in the bunch. I'll post pictures and videos as they age for the next few weeks and let you guys tell me what you think (I'll keep my suspicions to myself for now). Also any help...

Hello, this is my first time raising birds. I grew up in farm country and have plenty of exposure to farm animals, but my family never had chickens, so I'm trying to do my due diligence to make sure i get things right. I've got four wyandotte chicks and two cayuga ducklings headed my way this...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, I bought my first chickens last summer (2018) (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 9; I have 2 roosters and 7 hens. I would have 19, but my *former* dog killed 10! :o (3) What breeds do you have? I have 2 Easter...

Pullet or Rooster? This is my first Blue Laced Red Wyandotte that I have ever had. Do the Wyandottes tend to feather slowly in both pullets and cockerels? This one is 4 weeks old and does not have very many feathers or much of a comb or waddle. If anyone has a photo that I can compare mine to...

I have had experience with chickens for over 6 years and have grown to love them more and more each day. I have raised 5 different types: black sex link, ee, buff orpington, black australorp, and silver laced Wyandottes. I have never had any problems taming them before but the wydottes are some...

Hello, I have started hatching a couple of batches of chicks. But some are reaching an age where I am just guessing. I have a few photos here, of the first three I have hatched this year on the 2nd/3rd of June putting them at seven and a half weeks old. I think I may be lucky and have two...

I have about 18 bantam wyandottes. 1 trio partridge, 1 pair golden laced, 1 pair buff laced(hens), 1 blue laced red hen, 1 pair white, 1 trio of black, 1 black rooster. All of them are in smaller pens in trios or pairs. I would like to have fewer but larger pens. The only way for me too do that...
