The Silver Laced Wyandotte Chicken is a beautiful dual-purpose bird- perfect for any backyard flock. These birds can be purchased as day-old chicks that will grow into healthy pet chickens. Especially cold hardy, they are great for cold climates like the northern United States. They’ll perform well even in snowy climates since their rose combs aren’t prone to frostbite.

The Silver Laced Wyandotte Chicken is an American breed that originated in the 1870s by H.M. Doubleday, John Ray, L. Whittaker, and Fred Houdlette. The breed it originated from is not known.

 As the name implies, the Silver Laced Wyandotte Chicken has white feathers with black edges around each feather, making it look like the bird is wearing a gown of some sort. These beautiful birds will brighten up any flock with their fancy dress.
