Great Chicken Breed: Wyandotte Chicken
The Wyandotte is an American breed of chicken developed in the 1870s. It was named for the native Wyandot people of North America. The Wyandotte is a dual-purpose chicken breed, raised for its brown eggs and its yellow-skinned meat. It is a popular show bird, and comes in many color variants. It was originally known as the American Sebright.
The Wyandotte chicken is an all-American breed, originating from the state of New York. Their name comes from a Native American tribe, however whether they are actually associated in any way with that tribe is a mystery. The breed standard and diverse colorings and markings were created by crossing a number of breeds together over many years.
Following this, different varieties of Wyandotte gradually made their way across different states of America – such as the Partridge, Silver Laced and Buff. The Wyandotte was accepted as a breed in the United States in 1883; it was not introduced into the United Kingdom until the 1890s.
When it comes to beautiful plumage, Wyandotte chickens got it. Their feathers come in a wide variety of colours and patterns. The most popular kinds are the silver or gold laced Wyandottes.
Wyandotte chickens make great companion pets. They are happy to forage by the owner in the garden but are also content to be left alone to run or coop. These chickens love to make noise, chirps and coos and clucks.
Wyandottes are great egg layers, producing 200 tan or brown eggs annually. These chicken breed is even known to lay through the colder months, when other hens stop laying for winter. They make great mothers, renowned for their ability to brood and tenderly raise their chicks. Wyandotte chickens are perfect for poultry keepers who live in a colder climate.
