Not to mention the ones of French/ German/ Flemish origin, which never come close to being pronounced correctly... Even by the those who breed them seriously!

I'm with you on this one. If you follow the rules of English (which deviate wildly anyhow, no help there), the last part should sound like doe-tee. right??? but I was corrected, errr...informed it was dot. wine-dot. not why-ann-doe-tee

OMG. I have wine-dots in various lacing colors, one dew-clay, some spangled, some speckled, some mottled, some plain ol' chickens, and even some of the lowest of the low grocery store leggerns, not even hatchery quality!

I don't like the WineDot pronunciation.

Wyandotte

even my corrected pronunciation is incorrect. there is no hope.....

Wyandottes are a Native American tribe.

Wyandot Tribe

How do you pronounce the word "Wyandot"? What does it mean?
It's pronounced "WHY-an-dot." It comes from their tribal name, Wendat, which means "peninsula people." Some Wyandot people in Oklahoma use the spelling Wyandotte instead.

Wyandot Indians



The Wyandot Indians originally lived in southern Ontario. They were also called Hurons. But they called themselves "wendat" which in time became "Wyandot" or "Wyandotte." They were related to the Iroquois Indians. But in the years before European settlement, the Iroquois Confederacy attacked them and drove them from their homeland. Some came to live in northern Ohio. They built their main villages in Wyandot, Marion, and Crawford Counties, but they lived across northern Ohio and as far south as Ross County.​

I think I remember reading that somewhere. Wyandot seems a reasonable spelling.

They already have these.. I saw them at an auction but they wanted $2500 for the trio... I think they were called French Boerarans... They had a six teat udder, feathered legs and laid a dark chocolate covered egg. They had egg samples for sale and swore they tasted like caramel egg nog but I think I saw cadbury wrappers behind the cooler..

Hey anything for less work right? Did ya have to milk then or did they have an autostart???

I think I saw those at Sam's Club ... the autostart model is $500 more ... reckon it's worth it with all those extra teats?!
