This variety was made by mating a Dark Brahma hen to a Partridge Wyandotte male, and Dark Brahma and Silver-Penciled Hamburg females to a Silver- Laced Wyandotte male, and by breeding selected speci- mens from the offspring of these matings. The coloration is the same as of the Dark Brahma. Cohtmbian Wyandottes were introduced in 1893 by B. M. Briggs (who introduced the White Wyandottes). The name was given in honor of the Columbian Exposition in progress at the time. The color and markings are the same as of the Light Brahma. In the original Briggs stock the color was produced first from a chance mating of a White Wyandotte cock and a Barred Plymouth Rock hen. The variety, when introduced, attracted little attention. A few breeders took it up, and some of them, not satis- fied with the color and having little confidence in getting what they desired by selection from the original stock, resorted to other T-x.
