The Wyandotte Thread

Hi, looking for lavender wyandottes for a breeding project. Any leads would be great. I know greenfire farms is getting them from the UK but UK birds have too loose of feathers for my project and I know they are already here in the US from photos a couple years old. Thanks

As far as I know they are not here... Lavender Wyandottes are just gorgeous and when Greenfire releases them to the public I want some.

Surely they are here. I know someone here in TN was making Lavender laced Wyandottes..... Wade Jean? It was the same person that has a good line of Marans in TN. Let me see if I can find them. I would think a cross to an Orp would introduce the gene and then work from there. An Eng Orp would sure give them some more size too.

They look like hatchery SLW. I can't tell much on the first one but that might be a roo, need to see the whole body.

I was going to make my own Lavender Wyandottes and then Greenfire said they were importing them. So I may as well just get theirs.

Blue Laced Silver sounds PRETTY. Sign me up!

Do you see how dark it is?

The one behind it is a Gold Lace Wyandotte Hen. This one I can not figure out. HELP
