Silver Laced Wyandotte SLW Rooster Progeny Grow Along

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Thank you, I was referring to this female- she has chipmunk stripes as a chick but a white breast and white fluffy butt as a 6 1/2 week old.View attachment 2981605View attachment 2981606

She’s incomplete laced. What makes you think she’s a purebred wyandotte rather than a cross?

Only the egg color. We had Golden comet crosses= brown eggs, white leghorn cross = white egg, Wyandotte (silver and gold) = beige egg. She hatched from a beige egg so I assume she’s all Wyandotte.

I have seen hatchery wyandottes with a similar pattern. Though it’s also possible that she’s a golden comet x wyandotte mix if one laid an abnormally light egg.

Actually make that 10 and 6, . The mixes are really starting to show their type and it’s super clear from the tail feathers which ones had a Golden Golden comet or a Leghorn hen for a mother. The next little batch is 5 weeks behind them and so far there’s been only mild pecking and chasing.

Wow that white cockerel is purty.

Thanks. He’s a white leghorn/silver laced Wyandotte cross and has the funniest crow… he thinks he’s going to be the main roo. We’ll see.

I think you're right about the egg color and her being a mix. Now that they're getting older, she's definitely not acting like the three SLW girls.
