The detail

Wyandottes were developed in New York in the 1870s and are a dual-purpose chicken with a rose comb and laced feathers. They are cold-hardy, calm and reliable layers, and the Silver Laced is one of the most recognizable backyard breeds.

What to weigh

Wyandottes can be pushy with more timid breeds. Heavy feathering makes them less comfortable in hot, humid summers.
