Non-Hardy Wyandottes

Of the seven Wyandottes I purchased, only 3 (Likely 2, one just had a heatstroke) are living.

The others died of an unknown illness, but while they were alive they layed quite well.

I would not suggest Wyandottes if you want a breed that will last longer than one year.

However, if you do buy 100+ at a time for commercial production of eggs or meat,

i'm sure it would be a good investment. For this breed I suggest fans in your coop during

summer, and lots of Oyster Shell for the eggshells frequently get weak.
