Featured Breed/Variety of the month for December

Silver Laced Wyandottes

  

 The Silver Laced Wyandotte has white feathers with black edges to every feather, an effect called lacing. The tail is black and the standard of perfection states they should have yellow legs. The silver laced was developed in New York state in the early 1870s and was admitted to the standard in 1883. The silver laced wyandotte was the base for all other colors. Wyandottes lay good-sized light brown eggs and at maturity they weigh in at 8 1/2 pounds for the males and 7 pounds for the the females. Wyandottes are good dual purpose birds, especially the White and Silver Laced varieties which have been bred for utility, as well as for show. All pics are of my birds below.
