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. “

Mostly black
Ordered 10, got 6 black, 4 blue, 0 splash. Yes, I understand how blue breeds. Of those 10, 2 were roos. So, I got 3 blue laced for the price of 10. Won’t be ordering these again. Reported it to Cackle twice, was ignored both times and questioned to my knowledge of chicken color genetics. But hey, the 3 newborn chicks I paid $72 for are nice…
