White Wyandottes originated from sports of the Silver Laced variety in New York state in 1887, and were admitted to the standard in 1903. Texture of feather is important in Wyandottes especially so in the White variety where broad feathers and smooth fitting plumage are necessary to preserve the characteristic curvilinear breed type of the true Wyandotte.

A.P.A. COLOR STANDARD FOR THE WHITE VARIETY

MALE AND FEMALE: COMB, FACE, WATTLES AND EAR-LOBES: Bright Red.  BEAK: Yellow  EYES: Reddish bay.  SHANKS AND TOES: Rich yellow   PLUMAGE: Web, fluff and shafts of all feathers, in all sections, white
