Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Chicks

Introducing the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, a breed that’s as striking as it is practical. With its origins tracing back to the late 19th century in New York, this stunning variety has become a favorite for poultry enthusiasts who value both beauty and productivity. The Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is truly a showstopper, with its rich red-brown plumage intricately laced in a shade of blue-gray that can vary from a soft sky-blue to a deeper, almost black hue. This unique variation in feather color means no two birds are exactly alike, adding a touch of individuality to every flock.

More than just a pretty bird, the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is known for its calm, friendly temperament. They integrate well into family flocks and are easy to manage, making them an excellent choice for beginner poultry keepers and experienced chicken enthusiasts alike. Their gentle nature also makes them great around children, and they tend to get along well with other chickens.

Adaptable to a range of environments, these birds thrive particularly well in colder climates, thanks to their robust build and thick feathering. However, they do require a bit of extra care in hotter temperatures, so it’s important to provide adequate shade and water during warm spells. As for egg production, you can expect a reliable 180 to 260 medium-sized brown eggs per year from your hens, making them a solid choice for those looking to add productive layers to their flock.

At full maturity, roosters typically weigh around 8.5 pounds, with hens reaching about 6.5 pounds. Though not currently recognized by the American Poultry Association, the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is beloved for its eye-catching appearance and steady egg-laying capabilities. With proper care, these birds can live a rewarding and productive life for 6 to 12 years, making them a long-term addition to any backyard or homestead.

“Breeding Blue Disclaimer: When breeding blue chickens, genetics play a unique role in color outcomes. Breeding two blue chickens typically results in 50% blue offspring, 25% splash (lighter, spotted plumage), and 25% black. This predictable color variation is a natural part of blue chicken genetics, so keep in mind that not all chicks from blue parents will be blue.”
