Baby Chicks: Columbian Wyandotte

The Columbian Wyandotte variety is a more uncommon variety of the Wyandotte, and a wonderful example of American breeding.  These birds are beautiful and productive.

Wyandottes are a favorite amongst backyard flock owners for their dependable egg-laying, easy going nature, and cold hardiness.  The Columbian markings are striking: they are clean white birds with black tails and black dotted hackles. 

Wyandottes have a heavy body, which makes them a great dual-purpose choice, and small rose comb, which makes them perfect for cold climates because they are not prone to frostbite. The hens are hardy, energetic, and faithful layers and are recommended as one of the best breeds for beginners.
