I have raised Silver Laced Wyandottes for around 10 years. They lay a nice sized brown egg. They generally lay okay during the Winter without extra light. The eggs hatch well and the chicks are vigorous. A lot of hatchery production stock will have the improper straight combs. Well marked Silver Laced Wyandotte hens are beautiful and the cockerels are spectacular. They are one of the two standard breeds I am raising this year, though I may still add a few breeds.

I have never had Silver Laced Wyandottes prolapse. I have had Ameracaunas, Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks prolapse, but only a few birds out of many hundreds.

I have had lots of coturnix quail prolapse. Usually it happens at around 7 weeks mostly with a few birds doing it later. Often the eggs are normal size. I probably lose around 3% of hens that way in coturnix. Usually the other quail will cannibalize the part that prolapsed.

I think prolapses mostly happen when a hen fails to lay smaller sized pullet eggs first, to gradually stretch her out. Laying one massive egg, without progressively laying larger eggs to that point is likely a cause of prolapse too. I have had old chicken hens, that had mostly stopped laying, lay a regular size egg and prolapse.

I get lots of weird eggs, though the actual percentage is low out of all the eggs. Some of my Malaysian Serama hens will lay tiny, very round, but jelly bean size, pullet eggs with no yolk. Some of my coturnix quail hens will occasionally lay eggs with no shell, with just the shell membrane holding them together. They bounce very well. I had ringneck pheasants that commonly laid double yolked eggs. I hatched a 3 legged pheasant once, that a 3rd leg growing out of its back. I posted pictures of it here when it happened. I have had 5 yolks in 1 chicken egg a few times. I had 6 probably 5 year old Copper Maran hens that almost always laid triple yolk eggs on the few occasions they still laid.

Well Keith, thanks for your replys

Ive wanted to get SLWyondottes again someday. I always wondered if it came from odd breeding or type of feed .
Not this year ... but down the road I will get them again, but from a different hatchery.
