After painstakingly researching every breed of chicken out there, I came to the conclusion that the Wyandotte is the chicken breed that has it all.

Good egg layers? Excellent

Enough meat on their bones? Definitely

Gentle and friendly? Yes they are

Cold weather hardy? One of the best

Pleasing to the eye? Every bit of breathtakingly gorgeous

 

Of course, every one of these characteristics are more important than the next. Sometimes all I care about is the stunningly beautiful plumage, but to be able to have the best of both worlds as far as production (eggs & meat), plus the added bonus of being able to show my love and affection to these sweethearts? They are so tolerant that they will fall asleep on my knees while I watch TV.

 

It took me years before I finally purchased my own flock. This is because I was looking to get a specific mix all at the same time; Blue Laced Reds, Golden Laced, and Silver Laced. My patience has payed off, because now I'm watching my beautiful birds grow and develop.

 

I recommend this breed to everyone!

I've been pouring over different breeds for my first flock. Absolutely love the plumage on the Wyandottes and plan on adding golden and silver laced to my mixed flock :)
Make sure you find some from a good source- My Golden Laced and my Blue Laced Reds are better than I expected as far as personality, but my Silver Laced were horrible. I believe it's because the Silver Laced is a mass-produced bird and the breeders aren't breeding for personality or friendliness. Wherever you get yours from, make sure you get them from a good source!
