Any other variety of Wyandottes takes in the Buff,Cuckoo or those like the Barred Plymouth Rock, Partridgeand Buff Laced. They made an entry of twenty-one cocksor cockerels. First went to a very nice Buff; second to tlieCuckoo; third. Buff, a very sound tailed bird, but he wasquite narrow in body shape. Hens or pullets, twenty innumber. First, a very nice, even Buff pullet, very sound incolor. Second, a Buff laced pullet which was really a grandshaped Wyandotte. The breast lacing was not so perfect asin the other parts of her body. Third was of a very nice,even buff color. Wyandottes make quite a show when 200of them are at one exhibition. BITED IN ENGLANU. 18%.. KEUflBltPOULTRY Journal- CoPYRKiMTlD? IS99 GOLDEN WYANDOTTES. By SEWELL. In characteristics, shape, standard requirements and plumage the Golden Wyandottes are similar to the Silver Wyandotfes, (see page 34),except that where the ground color of the Silvers is white, in the Goldens it is golden bay. The improvement in theGolden Wyandottes during the past few years has been most pronounced, some breeders of the variety show-ing specimens so fine that they can almost be compared with the work of a first class artistwith a brush. They are worthy of their name, The Beauty Breed. 46
