I have two Wyandottes, a Columbian and a Gold Penciled (not sure the latter is a recognised breed/standard). I love me a big fluffy bird, and the Columbian is just that, the penciled more medium-sized. I integrated them into the small flock when they were about 8 months old. The personality of the Columbian was fairly dominant initially, but now more reserved once integrated. The penciled was lowest in the pecking order of the new batch, and has remained timid (but getting a little more confident). When I got this last batch in, I was actually on the look out for a Silver Laced Wyandotte, but could not find one at the time. Hopefully in the next batch I can get one. I liked the video, pointing out general breed trends but individual variation as far a behaviour. They all have their own personalities, which is part of what makes chicken keeping fun.
Thanks. This helped me to understand Coleman a bit better. She is a beautiful bird and is finally getting closer. The Cream legbar and Rhode island red youngsters are definitely helping with that as they were raised from chicks. Thanks!

Nice he mentioned lineage to my chickens…brahma
My favourite breed

Beautiful birds indeed, but the lower predator awareness gives me pause.
The music really hurt my ears.
