History
Wyandottes originate from the United States and no one really knows which breeds were used to create the Wyandotte breed. They were first reported in the 1860s and the first variety was the silver laced variant. They are large chickens with a particularly rounded appearance. They have broad bodies and are full feathered. The hens have a deep breast and backside which shows that they are good layers. The Wyandotte has yellow legs with a round, short head, rose comb, bright red ear lobes and reddish bay eyes. They are a good dual purpose breed.
Behaviour
Wyandottes are docile birds and the hens are excellent broodies and make good mothers. They lay well and chicks tend to be strong and are quick growers. Their attractive \"curvy\" shape, generally good disposition and many attractive colour patterns (varieties) make them a good choice for fanciers as well as farmers
Varieties
White, Blue, Buff, Red, Black, Barred, Partridge and Silver Pencilled, Silver, Gold, Blue and Buff Laced, and finally Columbian which has similar markings to the Light Sussex.
Status
Fairly common

Comment: Geoffrey is a silver laced large fowl cockererel who is about 10 months old, I have had him about 4 months and he is a lovely boy, unfortunatly he is just a little to loud for my very close neighbours! He has always been very considerate to my hens and would make a nice addition to anyone looking for a none agressive bird. He has been used to being penned but does like to feel the grass under his feet when allowed.

Latest Breed Reviews
2.5 Out of 5 Stars Wyandotte - 1 Aug 2010
I have 6 silver laced wyandotte hens, they are really friendly and inquisitive. They will feed from your hand and jump on your lap. Lovely hens I would thoroughly recommend them.
3.5 Out of 5 Stars Lovely looking chickens - 14 Apr 2010
I have a couple of wyandotte hens and they are beautiful to look at. They are always active and busy doing something, so are full of character. They are not as tame as the rest of my flock and are hard to catch. They lay small beige eggs regularly. One of mine has a thing about visiting blackbirds, she goes nuts if she sees one and is very territorial! They are very pretty girls and I would get them again because they are so lovely to look at!
3.5 Out of 5 Stars Large Fowl are harder than expected to befriend - 13 Apr 2010
Had my Gold Laced Large Fowl Wyandotts POL for a week. Both lay regularly but smaller cream eggs than expected. Quieter than expected, big bonus in an urban semi estate, quickly one assumed the leader. Settled within two days and happy to see daylight for a handful of corn. As the books say, they put themselves to bed so shutting the pop hole on them can wait if you are busy.
2 Out of 5 Stars White wyandottes: bit thuggish - 8 Feb 2010
I've had 'utility' white wyandottes & I can't say they're a favourite breed of mine. The birds are quite chunky & I've found them bullies when mixed with other breeds. They also seem to be quite dim (even for chickens). Laying was respectable, eggs are tinted & rather rounded & they spare cockerels made good eating.
3.5 Out of 5 Stars lovely hens - 30 Jan 2010
I've got 1 silver laced wyandot, a bit tame but I would recommend to anyone.
4 Out of 5 Stars Pretty and so much fun! - 24 Sep 2009
I have a Blue Laced and a Golden Laced Bantam, both pullets. They are the friendliest birds in my little flock of 7. They come running when they hear me open the kitchen door and just can't wait to see if I have anything good for them. They were the first to come and eat from my hand and will already sit on my lap, and I can stroke them while they are eating (and I have only had them for a week!). They get on well with the other birds and are a joy to have around. How did I manage without them?
2.5 Out of 5 Stars Wyandotte Bantams - 15 Jun 2009
I have 3 Silver lace beautiful Bantams and they are getting friendlier. They are still young at 4 months. They have moved from cheep cheep to chuckle chuck now. They roam the garden and get shut in a coop with run when I am not around. They are all mothered by an Orpington Buff Bantam who is the same age. I love them all dearly and I am training them to be more friendly. I will probably introduce a hen next year has anyone any suggestions?
4 Out of 5 Stars Lovely - 4 Jun 2009
We had three wyandotte bantams one lavender, one black and one buff. we still have 2 but found the buff one wasnt very hardy and she died after we had them for a year. I think they are friendly especally if you have a pot of seed and the lavender one will sit on my knee. they are very inquisitive and for ever around my feet but it did take them about 6 months to get used to them. im 17 now and have found them an ideal pet for a young person to look after and i the black one just runs in such a funny way. I wouldn't change them for the world.
4.5 Out of 5 Stars Interesting and lovely breed - 11 May 2009
I have buff wyandottes. The females are easy going, good natured and started to lay early. They have kept on laying and to my amazement, lay better than most of my other breeds. My male has become pretty aggressive and that concerns me because it is very difficult keeping an aggressive rooster. I know of one other wyandotte male who got that way that belonged to a friend; thot one was a silver pencilled.. Does anyone have any other experiences with male wyandottes? I know some breeds are more aggressive than others, but I did not think that wyandottes fell into this category.
3 Out of 5 Stars beautiful birds - 3 Apr 2009
I have a bantam silver laced Wyandotte. All the visitors would comment on how pretty she is. Unfortunately she does not lay that many eggs(2-3/week,even less in winter) and is very shy and not friendly as I thought Wyandotte should be- may be because I bought her from a breeder for shows( therfore not bred for utility). Despite the rounded appearance she can run very fast and can be very hard to catch! She is great to have as an ornamental breed. She is easy to keep, gets on well with my other chickens and being small, does not cause too much damage to the garden. This breed is good for those who wants a beautiful looking chicken more than plentiful eggs.
4 Out of 5 Stars Silver Laced Wyandotte - 11 Feb 2009
I have a gorgeous silver laced wyandotte hen, she is a large hen with small comb, generally keeps herself to herself, no bother at all. They do not lay a large amount of eggs, more of a show piece than a production hen. The eggs are large and brown.
