Excellent article in the May 2014 newsletter for the Wyandotte Breeders of America written by Don Monke. The article "Development of the Wyandotte Breed and it's Standard" includes information from the1908 Theo Hewes discourse on Wyandotte in Colors and how to Judge Them and the 1919 Wyandotte Standard and Breed Book covering Symmetry of both the male and female...H A Nourse with illustrations by Arthur O Schilling.

That's a great looking SLW, Matt. I appreciate the shape of her tail and the depth in the breast that conform to that nice circle shape.

At what age do you feel confident that the basic outline shape of the bird is fully developed?

From my experience it takes about 18 months for a Wyandotte to completely mature.

I was told this is a Wyandotte what do you all think. He is about 15 weeks old and is so friendly.

This is a standard hatchery SLW. It is not a pure bred/show SLW.
