#golden Wyandotte

2023 keeps impressing me with beautiful surprises. I would have never fathomed owning my own home and raising my own chickens.

Can’t wait to see their colorful eggs 🪺

Hi! I am beyond uncomfortable asking for money from other people, but my partner and I really need help to save our chicken, Barbara.

Barb needs surgery to fix a shattered tibiotarsus (the bone between her femur and her lower leg). After three attempts at splinting her leg, the vet told me on Friday that surgery is really her only option other than humane euthanasia, and I really don't want to do that because she is perfectly happy and healthy aside from her broken leg. It just doesn't feel fair to not at least try to raise the funds we need for this.

I know that to some people, Barbara would be "just a chicken," but that's not the case to my partner and me. Our animals at the Funny Farm—that's what we named our home—are everything to us. If Barbara were a cat or dog, we would pursue every option possible to help her have the best quality of life; her being a chicken is no different.

Here's a link to the fundraiser.

If you don't want to give to the GoFundMe, I have Venmo and Cashapp (both w/ the username beckylongstocking). I'm also working to create stickers and t-shirts and other items to support Barbara, if you'd like to contribute and receive something physical in return. I'll post updates on my lil artstagram, @rebekahmakesart.

If you can't contribute financially, please consider reblogging this post. We only have a few weeks to raise money before our next appointment, which is when we'll be making the ultimate decision on how we can move forward.

Thank you. I love you.

They were bred from a combination of various breeds, including the Dark Brahma, Cochins, and other local breeds, to create a bird with good meat and egg production qualities.

[never-say-neverwhore]

I just remembered I have free will and can post whatever I want, so here are the misfits as chicken breeds, half based on my personal experiences, and half just on the vibes. (Perhaps I'll do the acolytes and staff later heheh)

Lenore

Plymouth Rock

Morella

Buff Frizzle (bantam breed)

Duke

Silver Laced Polish

Pluto

Black Old English Game Bantam

Berenice

Golden Sebright (Bantam breed)

Eulalie

Blue Laced Red Wyandotte

*(Note: bantam breeds, whether true bantams or bantam versions of regular breeds, are pretty much mini chickens. They're like... Half the size of regular chickens lmao. This includes their eggs, making their eggs perfect for halfing recipes!)

[feather-bone]

I want chickens someday (someday 🥲) and I’d love one a these lacy lads. This one’s a black lace golden wyandotte!

[ID: an illustration of a colorful rooster standing, facing to the right. He is on a green background with red flowers. His feathers are mostly red and gold, with black lacy markings on his chest and iridescent green tail feathers. End.]

I'm bored and hyperfixating on chickens again so heres most of the nuwho characters as chicken breeds

I'll be basing my choices on both aesthetics and personality but some may be more of one than the other lol

13 is a buff bramha. They're super sweet and affectionate but they can also kick your ass if they want to.

12 is a faverolle. Faverolle roosters are very gentle and mellow but not necessarily super cuddly. Also they're just so fluffy, how could I not pick them for 12

11 is a serama. Seramas are chatty, friendly, good with kids, and are full of personality.

Yaz is an australorp. This is a personal favorite breed of mine since my favorite bird I ever kept was an australorp. They're very curious, outgoing, and friendly but they also have a self assured spirit which keeps them pretty high in any pecking order.

Clara is a Rhode island red. They're pretty bossy and confident but under the right circumstances they can still be loveable and fiercely loyal birds.

River is a modern game. They're known as one of the top fighting breeds in the world and it SHOWS. One look at the legs on this bird will tell you not to mess with it.

Missy is a golden laced wyandotte. Being one of the bossiest breeds I've met, they're certainly a force to be reckoned with. They will fiercely defend their place in the pecking order and make damn sure their underlings know their place.

Dhawan!master is an american game fowl. Yet another famous fighting breed, they're incredibly close to what the chicken's wild ancestors wouldve been like. The roosters plumage is dazzlingly colorful and they will not hesitate to defend their own with beak and claw.

Kate is a Plymouth rock. They're vigilant and brave, with a keen eye for predators and a stoic demeanor.

Osgood is an amerucana. They're known for being very calm, affectionate, and quiet. Some can be quite curious too.

I would add more but I've reached the limit on pics I can add to a post sadly. I might add more later tho lol

golden laced wyandotte and jersey giant. They already knew how to drink and eat so I reckon they're probably 3ish days old

[velociterv]

Pretty birds at the local fair! A Silver Duckwing Phoenix, Speckled Sussex, Dark Cornish, Blue Wyandotte, and a Golden Hamburg.

[kindasortasalty]

You have chickens? What kind

I’ve got 11 hens! I have an appenzeller spitzhauben (the broody one), an Easter egger, an ameraucana, a sultan, a Dominique, a golden cuckoo maran, a silver spangled hamburg, a speckled sussex, a silver laced Wyandotte, a Colombian Wyandotte, and a lavender Orpington.

Their names in order are Sid Vicious, Horace, Dipstick, Genie P, Pepper, Pumpkin, Dewey, Cinnamon, Toki, Michael Wave, and Cloudy

Do you have chickens?

[jcsontodd]

They had golden laced wyandottes at tractor supply :(

[delicatefury]

Also, the chicken mystery continues. I’ve even turned to Reddit for help. So far there is perfect consensus that a rooster is bothering Crash the golden Wyandotte hen and zero consensus on which of the chickens is the secret rooster.

I’m seriously considering spending one evening on the farm this week so I can check the chickens when they’re asleep and can’t run away. That or I’ll steal my dad’s GoPro and set it up in the coop.

I will find out why my favorite hen has had her back feathers torn out.

Easter bunnies (aka chabbits, skvaders, or boultry) are GMO designer pets turned practical livestock from Runaway to the Stars. Each breed has a distinct egg color! They are popular choice for small spacer colonies, since they’re quiet and produce eggs and meat on a completely vegetarian diet.
