Black Laced Red Wyandotte Thread

[Lelilamom]

I've been doing a bit of research for a while before I found this thread. I ordered 15 GLW from Meyers this year; my first experience with Wyandottes ever. They are 4 weeks old now and 14 of them look textbook. But 1 of them is quite red and I'm wondering if it's a Black Laced Red or a Wyandotte at all. Her tail is not as long as the others, although she is every bit as big and feathered out as her brooder mates.

Anyone care to weigh in?

It's a gold laced Wyandotte with incomplete lacing. It looks like she will be mostly gold with black tips on her feathers.

I first thought there was light shining on the feathers looking iridescent, but I enlarged the photos and it appears there is blue feathering. Whatcha think, @StarMeKritten ? Maybe Blue Laced Red Wyandottes?

Here's my first and only BLRW - 8 weeks old. Betty Lou Rae Wyandotte.



And with her EE hatchmate Lizzy.



They were moved to the new outside coop at 4 weeks old and started free-ranging with the big girls two days later. Broody mama took them over and introduced them after they'd all kept their distance for the first couple of days. She returned to the rest of the flock (two other hens) and the old coop when the babies were five weeks old. Everybody is happy; especially me cuz I'm 99.9% sure they are both pullets.

I think I may need to post over at the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte thread. She has blue chick fluff still, but it appears she MAY be getting blue lacing. I can't tell.
