Hi guys!

First time poster, long time reader.
I am the proud owner of 18 chicks and 2 keets.
6 reds, 12 barnevelders, soon to get 4 blue laced red wyandottes.
Speaking of, anyone out there know the correct way to pronounce wyandotte because I'm pretty sure I might be saying it wrong

As for the pronunciation of Wyandotte I believe it is "Wine-dot". But I can't be sure.

Enjoy your new babies and welcome to the world of chickens!!

Thanks everyone! I've just been pronouncing it why-an-dote but I guess as long as people know what I'm talking about when I mention it it's all good

Whoops, forgot to respond to your Wyandotte question. The way you pronounce it is the way I do, too. So either we're both wrong, or we're both right

I was told it's wine- dot but, who really knows. Just say 'whatever 'with authority and everyone will think you must be right.

Are those the same as Domineckers?
