Definitely not silver laced

[Evewon]

Hi guys! We bought 2 chicks as silver laced wyandottes from Murray Mcmurray and we have decided they are definitely not silver laced lol! Do you guys think they are still Wyandottes? The feather patterns remind me of gold laced wyandottes, and these adorable yellow legs too. I've only ever seen them in catalogs and online so I'm not sure. Thanks for the help!

Not a Wyandotte of any color there. Can you get a side shot? How old, in weeks, is the bird shown?

Do they both look like that?

Partridge Rock pullets. And much too old to still be inside.

Thanks! We have 13 other hens and were worried they weren't big enough yet. We were going to put them out at 14 weeks. We'll just do it a little sooner. Thanks so much!

Integration needs to be done gradually, especially now that they are old enough to be seen as threats to the established social order. Younger chicks have a much easier time integrating into a flock. They should have been in an adjacent run for the last couple of weeks to get the adults acclimated to their presence.
