Any known crosses with pictures out there?

[Driley62]

Hello again!

So, I have a GLW cockerel and based on research wyandottes stick to their own breed typically. But im curious is anyone put there has any wyandotte crosses out there! Pictures would be awesome please!

In my flock:
RIR
GLW
SLW
"Ameraucana"(use the term lightly as they came from a chain store from a major hatchery)
Sapphire gems
Isa brown
White leghorn
Australorp mix(not sure the mix has brown down feathers in the neck area)

Thanks all!

Can you cite any of the research stating Wyandottes "stick to their own breed"? I have never heard that. but have seen you mention it in multiple threads now. Has me curious. Thanks!

Look in the temperament section of this article. It's the first I found this time but I've seen a couple other articles say the same thing.

That is unless I'm misunderstanding what they mean by their comment.

Yeah I would assert that 97% of the time, a wyandotte rooster will breed every hen he can.

I'd imagine the same. But after reading that I thought well I'll have pure wyandotte chicks if one goes broody.

Still with that said anyone have any known breed crosses with a wyandotte roo and any of those? Im intrigued to see!

Exceptions aside, roosters aren’t to “stick to their own breed.” Lots of crosses to choose from!
GLWxRIR red incomplete laced
GLWxSLW sexlinks. Silver/gold het. laced males, gold laced females
GLWxEE any number of things
GLWxSapphire Gem blue and black with some gold lacing leakage
I’m afraid I don’t have a Wyandotte, though.

“The Wyandotte tends to be high in the pecking order because of this dominant streak. They are a bit aloof from the other breeds tending to stick to their own kind.” Well, this may be true of the hens in pecking order. But roosters have no qualms when it comes to crossbreeding.
