Pros: good laying hens
Cons: ugly looking when molting
Cons: ugly looking when molting
My Wyandotte's (2 hens) are very sweet and love contact with us. They like to be held and fussed over. They each give me 1 egg a day..

Pros: Layers, pretty and broody
Cons: slow to mature
Cons: slow to mature
I bought 12 from a farmer who hatched his own birds from is flock in an incubator. I paid for 12 and he threw in 1. Lost one on day two. They other 12 made it, but 8 of them were cocks. One of the roos was cross-beaked. I ended up with one roster and four hens. I traded and sold the other roosters. 3 of the 4 hens wen broody by month 14 and hatched 4-5 chicks in the cold coop in early spring. The one roo I kept, was low man on the pecking order and I don't know if he ever crows or covers a hen. They are very nice looking and once they start laying, they do it well. No problems in the cold.

I had 2 of these guys, male and female. Male made a good dinner :) and my female golden laced lays quite well even in the winter. I call her my mother hen just because thats what she looks like to me.

Breed Details: Wyandottes are very good egg layers even in winter! they make a good table bird, and a dressed Wyandotte is nearly proportional to a modern Cornish rock X. the most common colors of Wyandottes are Colobian and silver laced. Wyandottes are often showed, they make up most of the bantam clean leg class at shows! wyandottes are very docile and mellow, my 5 week old will fall asleep in my hands if i pick her up! she is soooooo friendly! she loves to be pet! i HIGHLY recomend this breed! |
