The Wyandotte 
H OW to get eggs from your 
poultry when they are ex¬ 
ceedingly scarce, is a prob¬ 
lem that interests all poultry 
raisers. 
Of course, the feeding has much 
to do with it. But, on the other 
hand, you may select a breed 
that, because of special char¬ 
acteristics, has a habit of get¬ 
ting into laying condition early. 
Such a breed is the Wyandotte 
The Wyandotte is one of the so-called 
“heavy” breeds. Its flesh is yellow, 
fine grained and sweet, which makes it 
readily marketable. It feathers quick¬ 
ly, which means protection from cold— 
perhaps the chief reason for early 
laying. 
The Wyandotte 
The White Wyandotte wins for snowy white 
plumage and graceful lines. Other types 
are the Buff, the Partridge, the Columbian 
and the Silver Pencilled Wyandotte. 
Wyandottes produce medium-sized light- 
brown eggs and when well-bred are prolific 
layers, having taken many prizes in egg- 
laying contests.
