black. The feathers of the body and breast are white, each laced with 
a black edge. The main tail feathers are black. The fluff is a slate 
color with some gray mixture. The color of the female shows white 
feathers laced with black over the entire body except the hackle, 
which is black laced with white, and the main tail feathers, which are 
black, and some black in the wings, while the fluff is slate mixed with 
gray. The color combination and the character of markings of the 
Silver Wyandotte make this a very attractive variety. 
In the Golden Wyandotte the general color scheme is the same as in 
the Silver Wyandotte, except that the. white of the Silver variety is 
replaced with red and reddish brown. Like the Silver Wyandotte, 
the color and markings of the Golden are very attractive. 
The White Wyandotte is undoubtedly the most popular variety of 
this breed. The color is white throughout, and should be free from 
any brassiness or creaminess or black ticking. 
In the Buff Wyandotte the color should be an even shade of buff 
throughout, being identical with that of the Buff Plymouth Rock.
