EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1919, showcases a proud White Wyandotte rooster and hen in their natural setting. The White Wyandotte breed, known for its distinctive white feathers and vibrant red eyes, was first developed in the United States in the late 19th century. Originally bred from the Jaques de Quimper and Duc de Bourgogne breeds, the White Wyandotte was named after the Wyandotte Native American tribe. The White Wyandotte was a popular choice among homesteaders and small farmers due to its hardiness and excellent egg-laying abilities. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when chickens were an integral part of rural life. The White Wyandotte rooster, with his impressive plumage and proud demeanor, stands tall and alert, while the hen, with her full, round body and fluffy feathers, looks contentedly at the ground. The White Wyandotte breed has a rich history and was recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1874. Today, it remains a beloved breed among poultry enthusiasts and small-scale farmers, cherished for its hardiness, productivity, and striking appearance. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the White Wyandotte breed and the important role that chickens played in rural communities of the past.
