Silver Laced Wyandottes - Dark Pine Poultry

For many years, we’ve been dedicated to developing our own quality line of Silver Laced Wyandottes, carefully refining them from three well established foundation lines. Our focus remains on preserving the quality and characteristics of the standard. Every breeding season, our goal is set on the Standard of Perfection, although our line is not flawless. However, our Wyandottes are excellent breeder quality, and provide a great foundation for those looking to start or improve their own flocks. Our ultimate goal is to get these birds into as many hands as possible, while promoting the conservation of these exceptional lines.

To learn more about the foundation lines we started with and how we continue to refine our stock, check out our FAQ section.

Unlike hatchery birds, these quality Wyandottes retain their heritage traits, which means they mature more slowly and often display strong broody instincts. While they may not be the most prolific layers right out of the gate, once mature, they produce a decent number of eggs.

We currently have a waiting list for both chicks and hatching eggs.

Our Wyandottes FAQ:

Our Wyandottes take time to mature, typically requiring 12-14 months to fully grow and develop their feathers. Pullets generally begin laying eggs around 8 to 9 months of age, though some may take longer.

Due to the genetics of their lacing, our chicks and young birds often grow with patches of missing feathers or visible skin during the first few months. This is completely normal, and most of our Wyandottes achieve full feathering between 5 and 7 months.

Not every chick will grow into a flawless show-quality bird; if they did, winning competitions would be effortless. Achieving a high quality lineage often involves YEARLY hatching and raising dozens, if not hundreds, of chicks to identify the best breeding candidates for traits to continue your flock.

If your goal is breeding for the Standard of Perfection, be prepared for a lot of patience, as well as extensive culling, which we implement rigorously. Growing out Wyandottes of this nature takes tremendous patience, as some traits become more apparent as the Wyandotte ages. Sometimes it is best not to cull too early, as late bloomers oft times turn into some of the best birds. Building a solid foundation requires time, patience, and careful selection from a highly select pool of birds.
