The Wyandotte is a striking breed available in many colours. It was bred in the USA for its beauty, meat and eggs and has become popular worldwide!
Named for the indigenous Wyandot people of North America, the Wyandotte is a dual-purpose breed.
Wyandottes will start laying at around 5 months of age and will give about 200 brown eggs per year.
They should have a red rosecomb, red wattles and yellow skin. Most colour varietied boast a lacing on the feathers.
Popular colours are Silver Laced, Gold Laced, Blue Laced Gold and more. We keep the above three as well as the Splash Laced Gold, this is not a recognized colour for showing however they are very pretty!
When hatching Blue Laced Gold eggs it is important to note that we do not guarantee the colour of the bird you will get. Blue Laced Golds hatch 50% Blue Laced, 25% Gold and 25% Splash Laced Gold meaning you could get chicks of each colour or only one depending on the amount of eggs purchased and your hatch.
Wyandottes are docile birds that enjoy free ranging and will do well in confinement although a pen with a run is best.
