Pyle Wyandottes

Is there such thing as wheaton Wyandottes ?

There may be in the UK but I dont think there is here but that is another color that I am planning on trying to figure out how to make in bantam Wyandottes becuase I LOVE the wheaten color in hens and they would be beautiful in wyandottes and I have decided to just specialize in bantam wyandottes as the main or only bantam breed I keep and make lots of colors of them and I have been thinking wheatens would be a lovely addition. I just havent dont much figuring yet on how I am going to make them.

O i like the idea of wheaton as well. Does anyone in the US keep White Laced Red?

I believe WyandotteTX had or has WLR bantam Wyandottes, but I dont know of any LF ones here.

Of course I pick the breeds out that are impossible to locate in the US. Just my luck

I dont think I have ever heard of anyone having or trying to create Wheaton Wyandottes. As for a true Red Pyle in Wyandottes the creation of BB Reds would be the key. I have read about it some and debated the possibility of it but already have enough projects to work on at the moment. If I remember correctly you would need to cross Partridge with Black and then breed for color because the type would already be there being that both of those varieties generally have very good type to begin with. In theory the black would dilute the pencilling of the females to a certain degree and just have to work from there.... I would imagine it would be a long term project. Only other option I could think of would be to cross them with a Rose Comb Brown Leghorn but yet you would lose greatly when it came to type also. But the rose comb and the yellow legs would be a good starting point.

Yes I do have WLR bantams. Only two of them, the last survivors of my former flock. They are a recovery project and hopefully in 3-5 years I will have them back to where they were and should be. I wish I knew of anyone else that had them. The only person I knew that had them, the man I obtained them from went out of the chicken business. I sincerely hope my two arent the last of this breed, they truly are gorgeous.

Yes I can argee that they are beautiful birds. I searched through 50 pages on the Wyandotte Thread to find the pics.

Here is the Wyandotte Club of Austrailia website and it says that Wheatens are bred there. It also has a pic of a nice Red Pyle roo.

Maybe that should be Greenfire Farms next importation from Australia haha....Red Pyle and Wheaton Wyandottes. That would be something. Why not? They seem to be importing birds from all over the world, why not help us Wyandotte afficianados out a littl bit?

It would be cool to have them here but I'm not caring too much for how he has been doing bussiness lately, I have a friend that has had a few poor dealings with him lately. And there site says they have gotten what they need from Austrailia and not they are moving on to the UK and importing Lemon Cuckoo Orps which is something I have already been working on here, and several other breeds like you said.
