The wyandottes all stay together most of the time and while they live with the rest of the hens, they keep to themselves and don't roost with the other hens in the coop. They don't seem to have any problems with the other hens but prefer each other. I think this has more to do with them being the younger ones that got picked on than their breed.
The silver laced wyandotte, Andromeda is super fast and amazing at dodging us. I can rarely catch her! She has a lot of personality and is always jumping and gliding around the yard. She even challenges one of the Golden Laced Wyandottes that turned out to be a rooster, They play fight all the time.
