Info needed about the SOP in Wyandotte’s

[WillowMoonWyandottes]

do you recommend those hatcheries?

Brinkhaven Acres is good, I ordered chicks from them and they all came alive but I’m not sure about their hatching eggs, I’ve heard people don’t have much luck with those. Also Brinkhaven Acres says in the description of their silver laced that they are smaller than the standard, I only ordered a couple to see how they would look. Dragonfly Farm in Hillsborough North Carolina is good also but I’m able to pick up hatching eggs locally so they don’t have to be shipped. The Dragonfly Farm in Beebe Arkansas I’ve never actually ordered directly from, got them from someone locally who is breeding their bloodline same with Foley’s bloodline.

Oh okay thank you! Yeah I just saw that too. And it said it can take over a year for their feathers to fully reach their mature looks.

I had the same question a week ago! I ordered the APA SOP book soon after. Should be here any day. If you don't want to spend 60$ I can just post a picture of the page or send it to you. Just FYI, the lavender and Blue Red laced Wyandottes are not registered by the APA. So they cannot be shown in competitions and fairs and stuff. But the silver penciled and silver laced are both registered breeds. Also, do you recommend those hatcheries? I have been looking for some silver laced to maybe show someday but my local breeder only does blue/red and golden laced.

Heyyy wait, that’s illegal. The SOP is very copyrighted.

Oh right! Thank you I almost forgot that that would apply.

I’m just getting started with Wyandotte chicks from quality breeders including Blue Laced Red from Dragonfly Farm in Hillsborough North Carolina and Jerry Foley’s bloodline, Silver Laced from Brinkhaven acres and Jerry Foley’s bloodline, Silver Penciled from Brinkhaven Acres and Lavender from Dragonfly Farm in Beebe Arkansas. I’m planning on breeding them all to the SOP and maybe even showing some but honestly I need more information on the SOP and exhibition. Does anyone know of any websites, books or information on the Wyandotte breed that would help?

I’m thinking about getting some of the blue laced red Wyandottes from Dragonfly. Either chicks or eggs to hatch. How did yours turn out?

I personally wouldn’t buy blue laced red Wyandotte’s from them anymore. They are nice large chickens but their color is off. They have gold shafting on their feathers and are very brassy, not the dark red I was looking for.

Who would you recommend buying from

Who would you recommend buying from

Anyone who has Jerry Foley’s bloodline and that is breeding to his SOP. I’ve met one person in my area that is breeding them. She ships hatching eggs I think, she lives in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina USA. I can message you her number if you like
