I've also had the Black Laced Golden Wyandotte and the Silver Laced Wyandotte in the past. Every chicken in that line is very pretty, gentle and good egg layers, too.

Useful and beautiful, as should be all things in our lives. :)

Ellendra! We were at the local F&F (Dodgeville) this past week and they had a TON of nice chicks, (even Silkies!), ducks, pea foul, turkeys, etc. Really impressive selection and hard not to slip a few into my pockets! It's got Beau thinking...which makes me happy. :) I'm kind of getting chicken fever again. Might end up having a coop where my She Shed or Teardrop Camper WAS going to sit. ;)

I’ve seen both of those breeds at our county fair!

My experience with Wyandottes is a bit different. They are very pretty, and were all good layers, but gentle? Not the word I would choose.

They weren't as aggressive as Rhode Island Reds, but they were definitely bullies. The one Wyandotte I have now has to be kept away from the rest of my flock for their protection.

Interestingly, she seems quite happy being a "flock of one". I've never known a chicken to be so happy in isolation as she is.

Those tubs of peeping chicks are so tempting!!!! I don't dare get any more until my house is built, but as soon as I'm moved out there, I plan to expand my flock and add some turkeys to the mix.
