The Wyandotte is an old American breed named after the Wyandotte native American Indians. It was accepted as a standardised breed in 1883.

There are many different colours in the breed but the Golden and Silver Laced Wyandottes are the most popular. The Silver Laced birds have attractive white feathers, ringed with black and with their fluffy bum feathers they remind me of generous ladies wearing lots of petticoats!

They are a dual purpose bird weighing in at 6-7lbs and laying a brown to lightly tinted good sized egg.  They will go broody, make good Mum's and are very docile and friendly.
