Okay so A lot y'all helped me with my favorite chicken but I have these other 6. I need to try and decide because next week the roosters have to go. Sorry the SLW hate me and scatter when I'm around. I'm pretty sure 1 and 2 are roos and have no idea with the others.
We have five week old chicks that have been thriving up until this evening. We have a White Laced Wyandotte, a Gold Laced Wyandotte, a Sapphire Gym, and a Spphire Olive Egger. I'm trying to get them used to being outside so I put them in the small run separated from the rooster and the hens that...
Hi all,
I have a 4yo Wyandotte who has developed a limp over the past few months that this week has become pretty bad and stopped her from jumping off her perch in the morning.
She has always been a big bird definitely on the heavier side around 8 or 9 lbs. Though helping her off the perch...
Hi all, my 2 year old Wyandotte was taken to the vets two weeks ago because I suspected an impacted crop. They looked after her for a day, crop feeding some type of emergency nutrition. They also noticed her panting and prescribed antibiotics. I followed the full course, and after a week saw no...
Hello all!
After our incubator mishap, we thoroughly cleaned and calibrated it, and added in some duck eggs. They seem to be doing well. As far as chickens go, our hen decided to go broody so we let her keep a few of her eggs (and added some duck eggs as well). Her two little chicks hatched...
This may be unnecessary, but I feel the need to give some background on the issues I'm having.
Just before Christmas of 2024, we had a lone hen fly into our backyard. I asked all our immediate neighbors if she belonged to them, and no one seemed to have any idea where she came from. We...

I had originally thought this was a pullet. Now she or he is becoming more buff than my other pullets of various breeds and some mannerisms are making me think maybe rooster. Thoughts? About 8 weeks old. Thanks!
Hi everyone. I just got these 3 new little chicks and I would love some ideas on what breed they might be. The breeder said she had easter eggers, golden laced wyandottes, and silver laced wyandottes. I am not sure which ones I have, and would love some expert opinions. Thank you! Pictures are...
1) first go around with chickens got 9 straight run chicks first week in December and two pullet/hens a couple weeks ago.
(2) weeks have 11 chickens right now it’s looking like 6/9 of the straight run chicks are roosters leaving 5 hens
(3) cuckoo marans, black copper marans, cream leghorns...
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...
Hello! I've been searching high and low for these breeds:
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...

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...
