Oh wow! Yeah with wattles like that there’s not much chance for mistaken identity is there! That is a very different looking bird than mine so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻that she stays a she.

Ah!!! Thank you

Other than saddle feathers, is there anything else that differentiates males/females with the GLWs?

I kind of hope so as I really liked the soft brown eggs from my previous GLWs! but I guess it doesn’t matter either way since I currently only have one rooster and he’s getting up there in years so if this ends up being a weird boy it’ll be fine.

It’s been a few years since I had a GLW and technically I didn’t order any but this is what was shipped to me: this bird’s comb started to get pink at about 4 weeks old, but then kind of stopped at pink- it hasn’t really gotten bright red yet. It also has some slightly darker gold to its wings...

If you read reviews on McMurry hatchery’s site about WTGs there are some people saying their birds did not lay green eggs. While I don’t know the genetics of these birds there is probably a chance that a certain percentage of them lay something other than green.

Yes, I’ve never seen one quite like her

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost a three year old EE in a very similar fashion this winter(without the bloody vent)

She came from Hoovers. I ordered assorted marans, prairie bluebell eggers, Andalusians and assorted rare breeds. (The mostly white one) About 8 weeks old so obviously I don’t know her egg color yet. She is definitely interesting to look at with her gray head and red chest and highlights.

Almost all grown up now, and her name is Abigail (although I still call her baby girl or pretty girl, and DH calls her Kat-with a K cuz the orange is Cat-with a C😆)

Update: so this week I found out that our local Fleet Farm is selling chicks this year. I texted my husband showing the cute little things… Turns out he KNEW about them and didn’t TELL me!!! So to punish him I let him think that I was bringing some home. (Even though I didn’t at the time….I’m...

Ooo a pretty little sign sounds like a great idea too! Have fun picking out the decorations!🤗

It’s very nice! I would add painted daisies to match that white head floof !!

Hard to tell if you don’t know much more than “they are egg layers” does that mean they are an actual breed or a barnyard mix? What color eggs did they come out of? My first thought with a white egg layer with a single comb and yellow legs would be a leghorn, but idk.

White ones?😆😆😆
