The Blue Laced Red Wyandotte will not go unnoticed. Their dense, deep brick-red feathers are outlined by steel-blue lacing. You don’t have to sacrifice production with these ornamental birds; Wyandottes are very much dual purpose. They are good layers of 3-4 medium to large sized brown eggs weekly and have a broad, muscular body. Wyandottes are a friendly and gentle breed, though they aren’t “cuddly.” They can seem stand-offish at times, but this will vary from bird to bird. Our all-time favorite rooster was a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte named Avogadro. He was good to the ladies, gentle with people–even allowing us to pick him up–, and kept the other roosters in line without causing a stir. He was spectacularly beautiful. We highly recommend this breed!
