Is there such a chicken as a millefleur wyandotte ?

Recommended Posts

I love my wyandottes but have sadly lost 2 in just over a month.

Someone posted a lovely picture of their millefleur pekin and I was just wondering if that colouring comes on a wyandotte.

Hubby says I can have some more and I would really like something like that if it exists :D

 

If not what other colours do wyandottes come as ?

And what should I pick..... and where from ?

Yes there are Millefleur Wyandottes but they arent too terribly common

 

Some Wyandotte colours:

Blue laced

White

Black

Chocolate

Columbian

Buff Columbian

Mauve

Violet Laced

Millefleur

Mottled

Partridge

Blue partridge

Silver pencilled

Silver blue pencilled

Blue barred

Chocolate barred

Pewter

Buff

 

The Practical Poultry forum has a few dedicated Wyandotte breeders who are experimenting with different colours so thats a good place to post a wanted ad. Dottie Chick on there has a few different colours but is near Brighton I think

 

Kerry Wilson breeds nice blue, buff and silver laced dottes as well as buff, lavender and columbian, her number can be found online

 

I may also be worth considering Orpingons too. The Millefleur type colouring in Orpingtons is called 'Jubilee'

Richard Stott has some very different colour Orpington bantams, his website is http://www.orpingtonbantams.co.uk/index.html
