Interesting, but a list of colour varieties would be a simple addition and enhance it greatly,
Also Wyandotte breeders are always happy to support those of us keeping Wyandottes for the first time. I have been amazed at how welcoming local breeders have been and the degree to which they have...
Wyandottes are friendly, docile and well suited to backyard chicken keeping.
Their eggs are particularly sweet and delicious and their pale shell is well suited for decorating for special occasions, like Easter or birthday parties.
Whilst your Wyandotte may be a moderate producer of eggs and...
Have decided to isolate the broodies with a clutch into separate enclosure because of such experiences! Better to separate them to do their stuff uninterrupted by other broodies!
In autumn I acquired three new blue laced red Wyandotte pullets. Wynos are notoriously slow maturers. Two were clearly pullets. The other began growing more prominent tail feathers with a greenish tinge, and her comb was quite more prominent than the others. It even began crowing. I rang the...

I keep a small flock of Wyandotte chickens in my Ballarat backyard, with two silver laced and two blue laced red girls. They are my second flock. My first was taken by a fox, some years ago and it took a while for me to grieve the loss of my first girls, before I returned to chicken keeping...
