Breed History:

The Wyandotte breed originated in the United States in the late 1800s, developed as a hardy, dual-purpose chicken that could thrive in colder climates while providing plenty of brown eggs and excellent meat. Named after the Wyandotte native American tribe, these birds quickly became farm favorites for their low-maintenance nature, gentle temperament, and reliable egg production.

The Blue Laced Red variety, however, didn’t come along until later and is believed to have been perfected in Germany. Breeders worked to introduce the stunning blue lacing to the classic red feathering, creating a variety that’s now one of the most striking in the poultry world. But here’s the catch—just like other blue-feathered breeds, they don’t breed true to one shade of blue. Chicks can hatch with anything from a light silvery blue lacing to a deep navy or even black trim, making each one a little surprise package!
