Black Laced Red Wyandotte Chicken
The Black Laced Red Wyandotte is a striking breed with a rich, deep mahogany coloration, darker than its counterpart, the Black Laced Gold Wyandotte. This chicken is well-suited for both confinement and free-range environments, making it a versatile choice for backyard enthusiasts. Known for their calm and friendly demeanor, these birds are an excellent addition to any flock, whether you're looking for pets, egg production, or meat.
The Black Laced Red Wyandotte is not yet recognized by the Standard of Perfection, though there is ongoing work to achieve this status. The Chicken Coop Company offers a production line of this breed, developed through careful breeding. In 2014, a Jerry Foley rooster was introduced to our existing line, resulting in the vibrant coloration and robust qualities seen today. These chickens are not just visually appealing but also productive layers, providing a steady supply of eggs. Their dual-purpose nature also makes them suitable for meat production, making them a practical and beautiful addition to your flock.
