Common Name: Chicken - Wyandotte
Scientific Name: Gallus gallus (Full Taxonomy)
Group: Large Breed Chicken - American
Origin or Range: United States
Relative Size: Average
(as compared to other domesticated birds)
Category: Birds » Domesticated Birds
Animal Description:
The Wyandotte is a moderately sized bird that appears in many varieties. They
are found throughout the United States and are popular as a dual-purpose
chicken.
Being used for both meat and eggs makes the Wyandotte a dual-purpose bird. They
produce brown eggs and are good additions to any small flock. The Wyandotte is a
good forager and can survive in rather harsh conditions. Unfortunately,
Wyandottes have some faults that can make them inefficient chickens: they are
often undersized, lay small amounts of eggs, and have single combs.
Wyandottes are moderately sized birds. They appear in many color varieties, the
first of which were the Silver Laced Wyandotte. Other varieties include Golden
Laced, White, Black, Buff, Partridge, Columbian, and Silver Penciled. Even more
varieties exist in the Bantam class, including Birchen, Black Breasted, Blue,
Red, Blue Red, Brown Red, Buff Columbia, Lemon Blue, Splash, and White Laced
Red. Regardless of the variety, although most important in the white variety,
Wyandottes have smooth, broad feathers that produce smooth, contoured lines of
the body. Most Wyandottes have rose combs. Although single-combed Wyandottes
exist, they are not desired. They have moderately long wattles and a short head
and neck. The back and the tail of the Wyandotte are short. Wyandotte cocks
usually weigh around 8.5 pounds and hens are about 6.5 pounds.
Originally known as the "American Seabright" or "Seabright Cochin" breed, the
exact origin of the Wyandotte remains unknown to this day. It is believed that
the Silver Laced Wyandotte, the first Wyandotte variety accepted to the breed
standard in 1883, originated in New York. Experts believe that the original
Wyandottes were bred by crossing Dark Brahmas with Spangled Hamburgs. Later in
the breeds history, other varieties were developed elsewhere in the United
States. For example, in 1880 Silver Laced Wyandottes and Partridge Cochin-Browns
were crossed in Wisconsin to create the Golden Laced Wyandotte. The Columbian
Wyandotte variety was bred for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, for
which it was named.
