The Laced Bantam Wyandotte Chicken’s feather patterns are truly beautiful, not only are they gorgeous little beings they have bags of character. They are cheeky and inquisitive little birds, excellent in a smaller back garden coop. They do like human company although they won’t be as cuddly and tame as a Silkie or Pekin they will hand tame, eat form your palm and follow you about. Their confidence and independence can make them seem a little aloof at times, but they are very beautiful to watch chickening about the garden.

The Bantam Wyandotte chicken is a good forager who prefers to free range and have their own space, whether in a back garden or open field they are well suited to both. They make wonderful mothers, although not as broody as a Silkie, they will sit and hatch eggs with no real worries. They are suited with most Bantam breeds but can bully Polish hens and other small fluffy birds if in large numbers.
The Wyandotte is an American breed of chicken developed in the 1870s. It was named for the indigenous Wyandot people of North America.
