The Wyandotte Thread

Interestingly I found this website that says the Salmon Wyandotte originates from the USA! Then to confuse matters it goes on to say they originated from Europe, go figure.

Wyandottes originated in the US and the salmon originated in the UK

I can see why DMRippy he's gorgeous! Now is your Roo what we call a silver laced Dotte over here? or is that something different

Your BLRW pullet looks the same as our Buff - now established as Blue Splash Red Laced or am I getting muddled?

The reason I ask is that our BLRW has a blue base colour with red lacing and no white.




So am I right in thinking the splash laced red is homozygous blue (creating the white feathering) and the blue red laced are hetrozyous for blue? This would explain why the breeder said if I breed a buff to a buff I will always get a buff, bearing in mind that we have now established that I don't actually have buffs I have blue splashed reds, right?

Having now researched what we call a Buff over here, it looks like this.

He is a silver laced dotte.

Now BLRW come in BLUE, SPLASH and BLACK they breed just like reg blue and blacks. My splash laced red pullet does look just like your buff laced. Do the males look similar to the pullets?

My splash and blue roo will produce 50/50 blue and splash chicks. In you case breeding "Buff" to "Buff" (Splash to Splash) will produce 100% "buff" (Splash).

The Wyandotte breed ws developed in the USA. Other countries have developed new varieties that conform to the Wyandotte breed. each country also has their own standard. It may vary some from the SOP. The recent Imported Orpingtons are a great example.

The American Bantam Association also has many varieties accepted that are not in the APA SOP.

Here are my Foley BLRW that DMRippy picked up for me.



, this guy is my Black laced red roo.

There is my younger Blue laced red.. he is almost as dark as my black.

Weinie dog watching from outside the pen.( Unlike most Dachshunds, he cares nothing for the chickens.so he doesnt chase them...they chase HIM, LOL)

My black laced again..

By two roos, and younger splash.. the other splash is hiding

, note the light feathering under the roos? LOL

Younger splash.

older splash

younger splash with the black laced roo.

Younger splash with blue roo, I can tell this one is going to have darker lacing.

Hi everyone, have enjoyed reading through many of these pages and just love so many of the pictures shared!!! I think reading through all of them is going to take a bit more time!!

I would like to share a few of our new additions purchased this week. Totally fell in love with our young Wyandotte chicks that I bought a few weeks ago, silver laced, blue laced and gold laced, so added two new trio's to our brood, the first trio is a Salmon Laced Wyandotte and the second a Buff laced Wyandotte. They are such placid birds and just love their peticoats, they remind me of the French Can Can dresses



Our Roo, Oscar



with one of his ladies...





and the trio together...



The ladies looking to see if there are any black currants left!





I I am having SERIOUS Roo envy!!!

Don't really care what color he is or isn't. I find him to be STUNNING. Wow.
