The Silver Laced is the original Wyandotte and the other varieties were developed from it later with crosses on other breeds. It is an outstanding example of American poultry breeding ingenuity and is one of the most beautiful breeds we offer. It is colorful, hardy, and productive. The broadfeathered, smooth fitting plumage is sharply marked. The general appearance is silvery white and lustrous greenish black as each feather is edged in a contrasting color. The close-fitting rose comb and good body size are valuable assets for winter laying. Cold weather doesn't seem to bother them at all as their hardiness and vigor keep them laying straight through the winter. They lay a nicely shaped, good sized egg, varying from light to rich brown and will set some. This is another excellent variety for exhibition. Baby chicks vary from almost black to light silvery gray and many have contrasting light and dark stripes on the back.
As a reminder, to help ensure a safe arrival to you, the minimum number of chicks for each order prior to April 1st is 25. On and after April 1st, the minimum number of chicks required is 15. You can mix and match any type of baby chick in your order to reach the applicable chick minimum order. If ordering any bantams, we require a minimum of 15 bantams per order.

Questions & Answers
My son is wanting Chickens for the fair which will be held the last week of July so when would he want to get his chicks?
It would depend on what age they allow at the fair for showing. You may need to check with his leader or the county extension service.
How old are these chickens when they start laying? Mine are 7 mos. and haven't started laying yet.
Most breeds can start between 5-7 months. But there are several variables that will affect the age or time when they start laying.
What is straight run?
Straight run means "just as hatched". The chicks are not sexed to determine if they are males or females.
