Description
The Wyandotte chicken is an American breed of chicken developed in the 1870s. The Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are beautiful chickens that have a blue laced red color pattern which is buff/red in color with a blue that looks just like grey around the edge of every feather. This chicken makes an excellent pet and is good for eggs and/or meat. They will on occasion go broody and they make excellent mothers. They work well in confinement or free range and are a great back yard chicken. Cackle Hatchery® only offers at this time our production type/line not a show type. The Blue Laced Red Wyandotte is not currently recognized by the Standard of Perfection; however, several are working on getting this color recognized.
NOTE: “The blue laced red wyandotte does not breed a true blue color. The blue lacing color will be very light on some, a very good blue lacing on others and some will have a very dark blue/black lacing on others. Just like other blue colored breeds they do not breed true to the same shade of blue. “
STORMY –
NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVCE
I ORDERED 6 CHICKS. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT 2 OF THEM TURNED OUT TO BE ROOSTERS.I PAID 7.20 EACH FOR FEMALES ONLY PLUS ALL THE ADDED FEES CAME TO $84.82 I CONTACTED THEM IN SEPTEMBER AND SENT PICTURES OF THE 2 ROOSTERS. AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS I WAS TOLD THE REFUND IS UP TO THE OWNERS THE SMITH FAMILY. I JUST GOT A REFUND FOR ONE (1) ROOSTER ( $7.20 ) IT IS NOW DECEMBER.. CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND TOLD THEM IT WAS TWO (2) ROOSTERS AND RE SENT THE PICTURE.
THEIR REPLY WAS THE SEXING OF THE CHICKS IS NOT A GUARANTEE. COME ON YOU HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE 1936. SO END OF THE STORY. IT IS NOT THE $7.20 THAT I FEEL I AM OWED BUT THE PRINCIPAL OF IT. STICK WITH YOUR LOCAL FEED STORES. THEY ARE NEVER WRONG ABOUT THE SEXING THEIR CHICKS. SORRY BUT YOU HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS.
