Description Admitted to the American Standard of Perfection in 1883. These originated in New York State and are the parent variety of all the other Wyandotte colors. The Silver Laced Wyandotte chickens are a docile bird with clean legs and mostly black laced silvery white feathers and black tail. They have a red rose comb, earlobes and wattles. 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. They lay a medium to large egg and are an exhibition/show type. We have some seed stock from Jerry Foley in 2014 and again in 2020. We also have some seed stock from Rick Hare in 2020. They do well in all climates but very well in colder limits with their compact body and comb. Cackle Hatchery® does offer a production type Black Laced Silver Wyandotte.

With the emerging of the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte and other colors, we feel it would be less confusing to have a full descriptive breed name. So the Silver Laced Wyandotte are now called Black Laced Silver Wyandotte by Cackle Hatchery® Check out our blog “Wyandotte Chickens in the Heritage Breed Spotlight” At limited times of the year we offer non-show type Black Laced Silver Wyandotte Fertile Hatching Eggs and Black Laced Silver Wyandotte started pullets.
