Tell me about your Columbian Wyandottes!

[Keenonf]

I was thinking about getting a few and I wanted to know a little about them before I consider getting some. Tell me about there temperance, egg size, how often they lay, how often they go broody. Pics would be great too. I've been looking around and I wanna order from ideal because there somewhat local. I looked on there site and they won't be available til april. I have also seen hatching eggs on ebay which would work also. I'm leaning more towards the bantam variety because I could have more of them. Thanks in advance everyone

I don't have bantams but standard they lay very well and it's a decent sized egg. Three hens and three eggs just about everyday.

Here's a pic of one of my roosters.

I got him from a private breeder of these in WI. I should run into him tomorrow hopefully at a swap. Didn't realize his birds were this nice all I've ever seen are his chicks. I'm going to get contact info hopefully and keep in touch with him. I bought two chicks from him last year and the hen unfortunatly died. But hopeing to get some tomorrow. As far as recommending them they are great very freindly and not at all flighty. I'll keep you posted if I run into him and maybe I'll have some pics of chicks I hopefully get. Mike

I've got one, she will be 3y/o in May! I love the Wyandottes, they are real sweet birds, calm and not real noisy either. You'll love 'em!
