| The Wyandotte breed originates from America and is named after a tribe of Red Indian athough no one seems to know why ?, they have been around since the 1880's and come in a wide range of colours including White, Blue, Black, Buff, Barred, Columbian, Partridge, Silver pencilled, Silver laced, Gold Laced, Blue laced, and Buff Laced, some breeders have created other colours as well they come in large fowl and bantams. All the differant colours have a rose comb and yellow legs. The wyandottes I would say are some of the best birds for back garden pets as they came in a wide range of colours and the birds tend to be quite docile and tame quite easily, we kept a couple of buff bantams in the back garden for 3 or 4 years when I started keeping poultry again, that was about 8 years ago we now tend to have somewhere between 50 and 120 birds depending on the time year. |
