Great pictures!

I have incubated and hatched double yolk eggs. You have to be ready to assist the hatch. I'd had experience in helping chicks hatch from eggs previously and the key is moisture without making everything wet. I sat in a bathroom, made it a bit humid and kept a cup of hot water and a paper towel...

You can control rat populations but you won't ever kill them all or fully eradicate them from your place. I won't use poison, it's just too horrible a death for animals you don't intend to kill. Here I can set my traps in stalls so no good animals are ever in harms way. We've caught 6-7 rats so...

Thank you @Farmgirl1878 ! I hope your babies grow up with beautiful colors too @Sevelia12 !

I'm getting ready to do that too. I have Arthur in with my laying flock. I need to test out my incubator again so I'm hatching his cross babies. Here's Arthur, he's a Splash Laced Red Wyandotte so all the babies with get the blue gene or be blue. :D

@Farmgirl1878 Very handsome! I love this breed! I have 2 more roosters, I got them about 2 months ago. They're 6 months old and have been molting. This one is Fowler, he's with my 2 blue pullets. I got Fowler with Walter. Walter will be bred to the pullets who are too light. I can't wait...

These are updated pictures and I recently got our first egg! I also have chicks, 2 from the same breeder and 4 not. Here's 3 of the 4 not from the same breeder. I need to get updated pictures. And the 2 pullets from the same breeder.

They come in for food. Since the weather has turned colder and winter is upon us, they are desperate for food. Take up all feeders and try to reduce any waste that winds up on the floor. If you can, set traps. I know in a coop senario that's not possible. If you can bait the traps and put them...

Yes, Chick #2 does too. Straight combs happen sometimes in Wyandottes .

Thank you for liking them! :) The top photos are the most current and the last ones taken since the week 7. I did acquire two new pullets who are 10 weeks old yesterday. They're hopefully for sure pullets (no guarantees but to me they look like pullets). Both blue.

Week 7 I didn't find photos between then and now, but they didn't change a whole lot. Chick #2 (left), #3 (middle) and #5 (right). The chick on the pipe is not a Wyandotte, she's a Sienna Star pullet. Chick #3 Chick #5 (left), #3 (middle) and #4 (right). Sienna Star far right. Chick #1

Week 4 Chick #4 with #3 in the back facing forward Chick #2 Chick #1 Chick #5

Week 3 Chick #1 with Chick #4 in the background and Chick #2 to the right. Chick #3 with #1

Week 2 Chick #4 on the left and Chick #1 on the right. Chick #5

Week 1 We picked up a few chicks from Tractor Supply too. So the solid blue chicks and tan chicks are not the BLRW chicks.

I have been taking tons of photos of my chicks that we hatched out on September 4th, 2018. So I figured I'd post photos of them to show their growth and progress. The first photos I'll share are how they currently look at 10 weeks old. Then I'll start with new babies up till now. We had a chance...

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope these girls get to laying soon! I want more of them. :)

Rooster, my Barnevelder did get her comb and wattles early but she didn't have a rooster look to her.

No they're Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. I actually did grow out some Barnevelders though and some were totally different than the others. Give them time to come into their next molt when they'll start getting their adult feathers.

@Cyprus They are large fowl.
