This cool and rare variety of Wyandotte is very new in the United States, and all of our staff members (along with countless of you who've written to us so far this year asking after their availability) are drooling over them.
Wyandottes have a heavy body, which makes them a great dual purpose choice, and small rose comb, which makes them perfect for cold climates because they are not prone to frostbite. The hens are hardy, energetic and faithful layers.
Due to the genetics of the blue plumage color, the "blue" in the blue lacing will actually be what's known as BBS, which means blue, black and splash. When breeding blue to blue, you end up with a mix of 50%
blue, 25% black and 25% splash.
* The minimum order of day-old chicks shipped to Rhode Island is 12 due to Rhode Island state law.
