WYANDOTTS. 
The American Poultry Association at its 
meeting last year, admitted to its standard 
and re-christened as Wyandotts, a breed of 
fowls formerly known by nearly as many 
different names as there were breeders of 
them. To most fanciers they are perhaps 
better known as American Sebrights, 
although they gained considerable of their 
reputation as Hambletonians. 
The Wyandotts are not so strikingly 
beautiful as some other breeds, but as they 
are attracting more attention than ever 
before, breeders will strive to increase their 
beauty without impairing their usefulness, 
and the interest in them will tend to in¬ 
crease for some time. They have finely 
laced plumage, low, flat rose-combs, red 
ear-lobes, black tails, and clean yellow legs. 
They weigh from 7 to 10 lbs. when full 
grown. 
Our illustration was kindly furnished by 
Dr. E. B. Weston, of Highland Park, Ill., 
whose card appears in our Directory.
