Hi,
I have a 16 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster I need to rehome. He’s really nice, but I can’t have him in the city. I am in Cleveland. If anyone is interested please let me know.
These may be too young to tell yet, but I figured I’d post anyway because there are drastic differences between the two, and they were hatched from the same parents, the same day!
Chick 1 is the red chick, whom I have a sneaking suspicion is a rooster. Hence, the red box. This chicken stands...
We have 18 hens that are starting to lay, as of this past week. So far we have 3 ladies laying consistently each day. We have silver laced Wyandottes and Prarie Bluebell Eggers. I was under the impression the SLW would lay a cream/ light brown, and the PBE would lay a light blue. So to my...

We’re considering hatching out some of our eggs and want to try and figure out what our rooster actually is before we start choosing what eggs to hatch out. The problem is we got him from an acquaintance who we no longer have contact with and had no idea who his mom could be. His dad is a Silver...
Hi there 👋🏼
I recently got two Silver Laced Wyandottes, both were supposedly sexed as hens when I purchased them, however I’m recently noticing a lot of distinct differences between the two 🧐 they are roughly 7-8 weeks old now.
Hoping to get some insight into which may be a hen and which may...
Hi there,
My chicks are six weeks old and finally out of my house! 🎉 They're feathering out and starting to look like real chickens instead of half-baked muppets.
Some of them are starting to develop combs and wattles, and I'm a bit concerned about my SLWs in particular - is it normal for...
Hello, we purchased 6 Silver Laced chicks from rural king this last Sunday (1 week ago today). I’m assuming they’re no more than 2 weeks old. About 2 days ago I noticed 1 chicks leg was “off”. Balance was off, and it seems to be bending the opposite way but not at the knee, it seems like the...
I'm hoping to find some people to help me with sex linked chickens.
Would a Cream Legbar x Barred rock hen make sex linked chicks? Any idea what they would look like? I'm hoping for colorful roosters.
Cream Legbar x Delaware?
Cream Legbar x Silver Laced Wyandotte?
Cream Legbar x Columbian...
I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte chicken which a broody hatched. It is now 9 weeks old. It is not behaving like a cockerel or pullet. It has still a small comb and wattles. It has a lack of tail feathers but other than that it is almost fully feathered. Do you see a pullet or a cockerel???
I have posted about his chick before regarding what breed it may be. Based on the low quality lacing that is coming in I’ve decided on a SLW mixed with… something. I bought it as a pullet from the rare breed assortment from Meyer. It is only three weeks but it’s hard for me to call this chick a...
Please does anyone actually know when my silver laced Wyandotte’s should start laying my Sussex started at around 33 weeks and nothing from my Wyandotte’, there is too much variations on the web some say 19 weeks, 28 weeks etc etc mine are not laying and not crouching down either like my Sussex...

(3) I'm looking forward to getting to know their personalities and eat their eggs!
(4) I enjoy reading when I actually get the chance, listening...
I found our Silver Lace in a corner with her feathers all fluffed. I picked her up and she seemed thinner than normal. She wasn’t eating with the other girls. The hard freeze was hitting so brought her inside along with another hen with a hurt foot.
She had watery stools. Her crop felt full...
