Wyandotte Chickens

When it comes time to populate that newly constructed chicken coop, it has to be the breed that is becoming quite a showcase bird for small farms, the marvelous Wyandotte chickens! With so many varieties of these docile birds to choose from, it is no wonder why they are in high demand this year and early spring. There are Blue Laced, Red Laced, Silver Laced, and Golden Laced breeds to pick from with more color variations, being created each season.

Back Orders Mean High Demand

The breed has become so popular and in extremely high-demand that entire hatcheries are putting in back orders for these gorgeous little chicks! A rather new breed, the Wyandotte chickens are simply one of the most colorful and pleasant birds to have in any henhouse setup. For starters, they lack the combative nature that some breeds possess and this comes from a selective breeding process, tailored over years of genetic testing.

Multi-Colored Chicks

When it is egg-laying time, the important aspect to recall is that these wondrous birds will hatch 50% blue laced, 25% splash laced and 25% black laced chicks due to the genetics of the blue color. A surprise awaits all of the small-farming purveyors when these beauties come chipping out of their light-blue shells! In no time at all you will be the proud owner of not one fanciful black laced bird, but the above listed variety of colored chickens.

Gentle Natured

The favorite characteristic of this breed of chicken is their splendid temperament and gentle nature. With a pleasing personality and a non-aggressive viewpoint, these birds will be a smashing addition to any urban chicken coop modality. There is no reason why you cannot keep a good dozen of these unique chickens in one relatively tight and controlled coop. After a season or two of egg laying and chick rearing, you can sell off or give away to family and friends the surplus as we all realize how fast the brood can grow with ideal conditions!
