Black Laced Gold Wyandotte Chicks

Meet the Black Laced Gold Wyandotte, a truly stunning breed that brings both beauty and practicality to your backyard flock. Originating in Wisconsin in the 1880s, these birds are celebrated for their striking appearance, with vibrant golden feathers that are intricately outlined in black, creating a mesmerizing pattern. Their graceful black tail feathers, paired with a classic rose comb and bright red earlobes and wattles, make them a standout among heritage breeds. Officially recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1888, Black Laced Gold Wyandottes have been a favorite for generations of poultry enthusiasts.

But these birds aren’t just admired for their looks. Black Laced Gold Wyandottes are known for their calm and gentle temperament, making them an excellent choice for families and chicken keepers of all experience levels. They’re easy to manage and tolerate a variety of conditions, making them perfect for anyone looking for a low-maintenance breed. Their small combs and loose feathering make them particularly well-suited to colder climates, where they can handle harsh winters with ease. Even though they might be a bit reserved, these birds are friendly and peaceful, especially around children.

As reliable egg layers, Black Laced Gold Wyandotte hens produce between 180 and 260 medium brown eggs each year, ensuring a steady supply of fresh eggs. They’re also known for their strong maternal instincts, often going broody and making excellent mothers. This nurturing trait makes them ideal for anyone interested in hatching their own chicks and growing their flock naturally.

Physically, these birds are quite robust, with roosters typically weighing in at around 8.5 pounds and hens averaging about 6.5 pounds. Their golden, black-laced plumage not only adds elegance to your flock but also creates a stunning visual effect, especially when they’re out foraging in the sunlight.
