Mrs Frugal Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've emailed you a couple of possibles, Camilla, as they're on my wanted list too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 **Storrs Poultry** Sell the Silver variety and **RawGreen Poultry** have all sorts of breeds and might be worth trying, if you don't mind a trip up the M1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I got my Wyandottes from the Wernlas Collection in Shropshire. Wyandottes are pretty dotty birds: do other people find this? They do sharp right-angle turns for no reason at all, and run in the wrong direction when treats are offered. And mine doesn't shout when she lays an egg herself, but always shouts in unison with the others when they lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I got my Wyandottes from Wernlas too. I agree with Gallina - my girls are both a few sandwiches short of a picnic, bless them. They are also the most broody of all my hens, but very beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdaisy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 try ebay.... We got 2, 4 week old gold laced wyandotte chicks from a lady who was selling hatching/fertilised eggs on ebay. We loved them so much we got some silver laced wyandotte hatching eggs and incubated them, unfortunately only one hatched but she (we hope) is adorable. The only risk is they may be cockerels doing it this way. It's definitely worth searching ebay for someone local to you and see if they have pullets too. Our Wyandottes are a few sandwiches short of a picnic!! They are probably the stupidest chickens I have ever come across! ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbokbok Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 And mine doesn't shout when she lays an egg herself, but always shouts in unison with the others when they lay. YES!!! My Wyandotte Bantam does exactly this - in fact - I blogged this very fact only this morning! Hijacking the thread slightly - I was told by my Chook Man that Lacey is a COPPER LACED Wyandotte but I have never come across this name anywhere else - was he as confused as the Wyandottes are?

bronze Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Oh my bantie SLW is a shouter too. She snot dim though in fact far from it. I did have some LF SLW that I gave away they were a bit dimmer I have to admit. Maybe my Nell is just an exception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
