Hello! It is nice to see interest growing for a breed of chickens I really love.

Columbian Wyandotte were first exhibited in 1893 at the Columbian Exposition (World’s Fair). The color variety came from breeding a White Wyandotte and a Barred Plymouth Rock.
The Columbian Wyandotte description was added to the Standard in 1905. This makes them a Heritage breed.

I’ve been raising Columbian Wyandotte for 11 years.
I enjoy them not only for their beautiful appearance but for their dual purpose as egg and meat birds. The hens make wonderful mothers and the roosters are good protectors of their flock.
This year I have a few over 100.
Here are a few photos of my birds as they leave the barn to begin a day of free ranging.
