Hello again all!
My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...

Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (can be splash too, I know the BBS are common)
Silver Laced Chocolate Orpington
Mottled Orpington
Jubilee Orpington
Chocolate Orpington
Crele orpington
Does anyone know of a hatchery that has any of these...
Hi there. Could anyone tell me which cockerel exhibits more show quality? Al be it they are at different ages. The two at the top are brothers and the other one is my personal which I’m thinking of getting rid of for one of the brothers. TIA.
Is it just me? Or is it just relaxing to deal with chickens. Cleaning their coop. Feeding them. I get a sense of calmness and peace when I’m with them. Watching them. They look and sound like dinosaurs 😂 when they walk. They follow me around as I walk with their crocking sounds… I love my babies...

Rules:
ONLY Wyandotte's aloud.(no crosses)

Please be respectful!
Good morning everyone!
This past Saturday I attended the Appalachain Classic in Morehead, KY. There were over 1,200 birds in the show and more in the sale area. I brought only chickens this time around. Wanted to give the ducks a break before I bring most of the ducks I have to the Dalton, GA...
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...
(Question at the end)
I'm posting this to keep track and keep y'all updated on this long project. You guys know, I raise Wyandotte bantams. I have partridge, white, and now black. I am wanting to make the UK's blue partridge. That is basically blue and partridge together. Here is a picture of...
In May I hatched out an order of eggs that I did not want. I have kept them because I put in the effort to hatch them. This one, I thought was a Wyandotte because of the rose comb (foundation as a chick was the rose comb), but this and the body structure is not something I am familiar with and...
Hi all, I am wanting to get a Wyandotte rooster to add to my flock to potentially hatch chicks in the future, but I am not sure what color rooster I should get. I have:
5 Silver laced Wyandotte hens
1 Golden laced Wyandotte hen
1 Blue laced Wyandotte hen.
I was planning on getting a golden...
I went to the Northwoods Poultry Show in WI this last weekend and got some great pictures of the different birds there! It was a nice little show with an exceptional junior class - some really outstanding birds from the youth. Plus, how often do you see a nonbearded silkie on champion row??
Hello everyone. I have four roosters that are 4 months old to rehome. We have no room or capacity for more roosters for our hens.
They are hand raised and very friendly. 3 are leghorns and 1 is a Wyandotte chicken. All in great health. I am in Monrovia, MD location. Let me know if you would be...
I think they're about 6-6½ weeks old. I got them from Tractor Supply. It was an assortment of Wyandotte colors, but I don't remember which ones were listed. I think Ruff is gold laced. Tuff has a lot more black and a little bit of white. But, she looks quite a bit different than the silver Laced...
I have two beautiful 6-7 week old chicks who are just not feathering the same. The combs and wattles are not large but feather pattern throwing me off. Fairly certain the girl is the more blue pattern up front and the boy is the black one in back. Thoughts or guesses?!
Would they basically be olive eggers? Got a potential rooster olive egger and 4 colors of wyandotte hens. What egg color of layers would come from the offspring?
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...
