Blue Laced Red Wyandottes

Blue Laced Red Wyandottes Chicken

The Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is a striking and unique American breed of chicken, originally developed in the 1870s. This particular variety showcases a stunning color pattern with rich red feathers intricately laced with a slate-blue hue that appears almost gray, creating a visually captivating contrast. Their distinctive appearance makes them a favorite among poultry enthusiasts and backyard chicken keepers alike.

Beyond their beauty, Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are known for their versatility. They are excellent dual-purpose birds, suitable for both egg production and meat. Hens are consistent layers of medium to large brown eggs and can occasionally go broody, making them attentive and caring mothers. These chickens are adaptable, thriving in both confinement and free-range environments, making them ideal for backyard flocks.

While the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is not yet recognized by the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection, there is ongoing work by dedicated breeders to achieve this recognition. Currently, The Chicken Coop Company offers a production line of this variety, focusing on practical traits rather than show quality. Whether you're looking for a reliable layer, a meat bird, or simply a beautiful addition to your flock, the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is an excellent choice.
