Hello,

 

Our arrives on the 1st April, with a and a . I am definitely going to get another chook on the same day to join them in the - i had planned on a but having visited Thornes our local chook experts and seen the silver laced wyandottes I am very tempted to get one of those - does anyone have one? Are they friendly and good with children (my son will be 4) and do they lay often?

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks

K

ohhhhhhhhhhhh I lurve them and have one on order!!!!! I think they would be fine, but i'm not sure about the space...... as they are large birds.... I am sure someone will come along and put us right soon!

I have 2 Wyandottes, both blue laced, and they are very lovable girls although a bit daft. The biggest problem I have had with them is that they are very broody - I had one or other of them broody for the whole of last summer, which is a bit of a pain! I don't know how they would be with children, but mine are not terribly fond of being handled - I don't know if this is the case with all Wyandottes though.

Thanks Ted, Ooooooooo I'm getting all excited, all three chooks at one place.

Just need to earn lots of Brownie points with OH. :pray:

No problem, i have to say i just found the link and have never bought any girls from them. If you get i touch and they look ok it may be worth a quick post around to see if anyone has any first hand experience?

Good Luck

I hatched a few a while back. I kept one of the miniatures and shes definitely a force to be reckoned with though shes a lovely bird. She was my lust after bird before I got her now I want a mini blue/lavender orpington
