The Wyandotte is an American breed of dual-purpose chicken, raised both for its brown eggs and for its yellow-skinned meat.[6] It was developed in the 1870s, and was named for the indigenous Wyandot people of North America.[6] It has many color variants,[4] and is also kept for showing. It was originally known as the American Sebright.[1]
