Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

So there's a standard for this variety of Wyandotte now? That's cool. I thought it was all proposed at this point.
Good to know.

Okay, this is why I love this forum. I thought I remembered reading that bay was an accepted color to that standard. It's good to keep my baskets in a row as I have too many eggs to fill them. Thanks for the clarification. I'll look into it.

Here is the direct link to the proposed standard. The only thing that says "bay" is the eye color should be a reddish bay. http://www.foleyswaterfowl.com/uploads/4/8/6/0/48608711/newblrwstandard.pdf

The term ' bay ' is used to cover a range of red colorations. Whilst it might not be ' correct ' terminology it would certainly include shades of mahogany .
Just as ' brassy ' , is sometimes referred to as gold or yellow.

This is my 25 week old BLRW *Red*. She has such a big personality! Very sweet and laid back, from the local feed store. Her *sister* Lacy is in back.

Hey everybirdy, we picked these up last week, I was wondering what the pros thought about them? I have my thoughts, but don't know enough to rely on them. Feel free to be critical, won't hurt my feelings any.

I know the angles aren't the best. They are still in quarantine and it's difficult to stretch in there to get a good shot. It's still my phone, so the color is off just a bit, but any opinions and advice are welcome. Thanks, guys!

I finally found a new cockerel. My original rooster died unexpectedly...luckily I managed to buy one of his sons back...which did well for a while and then died unexpectedly. I happened to have one if his sons on hand and when he was near maturity...he died unexpectedly. So...I finally managed to find a new cockerel. Amazingly the girls (who are normally nasty to newcomers) seemed to take to him right away and I even saw him mating with one of the older, most ornery hens after less than a week (the first rooster took several months before any if them would let him mate). So...he's a "splash" and I don't know his bloodline but he's not too bad looking and the ladies seem to like him.
