craftyhunnypie Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 My gingernuts eggs are always around the 75 - 80g mark, my pepperpot eggs are more around the 60g mark. Oh sorry - just realised that this is for Wyandottes only....duh!!!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 My gold-laced full-size Wyandotte laid very small eggs (considering her enormous size -- she was nearly six pounds) but they were the nicest eggs I have ever tasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 thanks people I have discovered out of my 12 sl wyandotte eggs that 6 are actually bantams though the egg sizes are all the same. Depending on what happens over the next couple of months I might have some bantams that need reghoming (free) I'll see if they grow up together they may be ok even with the size differences. Sad thing is I wont have a home for any male bantams which I did have lined up for the large fowl so even if they do get on ok Ill still have to rehome the males.

The Dogmother Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 my two wyandotte bantams have laid eggs between 38 and 52g, getting bigger as they've got older. My silver laced wayndotte (Ruby) is poorly and not long for this world, so I might be interested in a replacement Bron.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ok I'll bear you in mind Luckily theyre such a pretty breed I'm sure I'll be able to be able to find homes. Bit annoyed because of the males though (the end may not be so pretty) I'm sorry about Ruby though. shes th eone who started me on my slw mission because after seeing pics of her I went' I want that one!'

The Dogmother Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Try advertising them on the pekin bantams forum Bron, excess stock always seems to shift quickly on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flit Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I'm ever so tempted (and relatively close to you in Cambridge) - keep me posted! They're such pretty birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Me too Bron; when Ruby shuffles of her mortal coil, I'd love another one - they are such lovely hens in both temperament and looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
