Can anyone determine the parentage and/or sex of this chick that came from a mixed Polish coop?
Roo: Silver Laced
Hens: Golden laced, Silver laced, White, White crested black, and Buff laced
(Pictures of chick and Roo included.)
Hi everyone! This is just for fun, but I’d love to hear what you think of these lil chicks and how they’ll turn out. Rooster is SL Wyandotte. Hen is Speckled Sussex and maybe a Saphire Gem? I know it was two hen’s eggs, but I can’t for the life of me figure out the second hen.
Anywho, my...
Got my birds from a somewhat local breeder,1.5 hrs away, who delivers through our area to surrounding counties. When I ordered our chicks I stated all hens except for 1 gold laced Wyandotte to be a rooster. He replied through messenger ok and we met up. One blue laced wyandotte had a curled foot...
So I’m buying some lavender cuckoo English Orpington hatching eggs, I’m very excited about it. However at the moment I only have a muave rooster. I understand the colors would most likely be split. But I was wondering what colors to expect from muave over lavender cuckoos? Also have a silver...
Hi everyone! I have 4 Wyandottes that are a few days shy of turning 10 weeks old. Two are silver laced, the other 2 are blue laced red (but look more splash to me?). We picked them up from a local hatchery when they were a few days old, and I have no experience with this breed. I've been doing a...
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...
Here is 1. Muff or cheek fluff.
Here is two who I'm very sure has muffs. Would you say even a beard?
And finally, are these pins coming in silver laced?
We just moved to Edmond from Duncan. We were only allowed 3 hens...well thanks to local farm stores we had roos, which were a no-no. Luckily, we knew several country folk who didn't mind a new roo here n there. We currently have 10 large ladies, 2 bantam hens, and I went to a swap meet and...
Hello! Most SLO’s in my area have come from the same breeder, which has resulted in a weakened genetic line over time. I’ve recently been thinking about how to strengthen the genetic line of SLO’s, which I understand is usually done through crossing different lines. So here’s my question: Could...
I’m looking for Silver Laced Orpington pullets. Located in Oklahoma, but willing to drive within a few hours for the right birds. Please let me know what you have available. Thank you!
Hi there! I have a 5 week old chick (I believe to be a pullet) named Maggie with an interesting colour pattern. Would this be considered silver laced?
Her mother is an EE and father is Americauna, I got them both as day-olds so I don’t know much about their lineage. I’ve included photos of...
Hi, I have some chicks that are looking for new homes. $15 each for silverlaced and $20 for chocolate silverlaced, while these last!
We have made our flocks from birds that we had shipped in from Texas and local hens I have collected. They are free ranged and fed Payback All Purpose Feed with...
I just noticed my one month old silver laced polish chick’s beak isn’t quite right. I had a scissor beaked polish several years ago but this doesn’t look the same. The top of its beak has a very sharp curve and the lower beak seems to be too long. It’s mouth doesn’t close all the way and I’m...
I picked up two of these chicks from the feed store labeled Blue Laced Red Wyandottes (which I’ve been looking for forever so I was stoked!) and then after looking at them for a few hours at home I feel like the coloring isn’t right?! They are darker and more like black greyish, I’ve seen...
Hello all. I got 5 day old chicks last week from a lady who mail orders them. I wanted half a dozen Ameraucanas but ended up with 2 Ameraucanas, 1 barred rock, and 2 others that were supposed to be silver laced Wyandottes. I've never had any Wyandottes, so I am not sure what they typically look...
Hello everybody, I am currently undergoing a project for Double Laced Orpingtons. Many people think double laced orpingtons are Partridge Orpingtons. Partridge is actually multiple laced.
I wanted to know everybody's thoughts on this and to share some of your knowledge. I just started this...
