The Wyandotte is the mystery chicken for many breeders wanting to know the origins of this medium-sized dual-purpose bird. Its origins are unknown although the first variety, the silver-laced Wyandotte, is believed to have originated in New York.
Experts now believe the Wyandotte was created by breeding Spangled Hamburgs with Dark Brahmas somewhere in the US, and breeders recognised it as a unique breed in the late 1800s. The different varieties of Wyandotte were created by different breeders all over the United States and the bird now comes in a rainbow of colours, from silver-laced (pictured above, right), to black, white and crele (pictured left).The breed is modelled after the Sebright, its colour patterns usually the standard followed by Wyandotte enthusiasts.
The Wyandotte is known as a good forager, doesn’t like to fly (most can’t) and can survive in a harsh environment where others may struggle.
