Just came across this Illustration out of one of the old Standard of Perfection, "would give my eye teeth to own one of those"
in general terms I am not as far of the "old" standard as I am of the type shown now, perhaps I am going to think of my variety as the old fashioned type? ;)

Still my favorite, wish somebody around here was breeding/raising them, or any variety of LF Wyandottes.

I always thought yours looked like they stepped off that page, more and more every year!

That is very kind of you Jan, they must have something going for them, still blow me away after 10 years.
Wish I could assemble a larger flock and get others interested in raising the variety, probably not in the cards anymore.
Mactavish filling in nicely at 1 year, still prefers "his" girls, although he has accepted the "other " variety now too.
