White Wyandotte (Pure) Large Fowl - Breed
Information
My birds were purchased from Alan Proctor who is
the most famous White Wyandotte breeder in the
country. He has won every conceivable award, at all of the big
shows, with his birds and has bred them in his family for 50/60
years. His birds are massive with fantastic type and are very
striking white with big yellow legs. I also purchased a trio from
David Pownall who won The National Show
2011, Supreme Champion with his
White Wyandotte Cockerel. David Pownall is
famous for his Orpingtons, but also has exceptional
quality White Wyandotte Large Fowl.
