Golden Laced Wyandotte pattern

I am having trouble finding decent images of 3 to 4 week old GLW chicks to compare mine to...can someone please post some pictures of theirs around this age. I am not familiar with this breed at all, and when a friend and I split a chick order we both ended up with one but they look completely different. I am not sure if the differences are from being hatchery quality chicks or possibly from sex (hers is for sure a roo and much brighter gold).

Here is mine:

Here's ours at 4.5 weeks old. There are other photos in my album. You have a beautiful GLW!

For some reason I only have pics at 1 week and at 10 weeks, so not much help, but here's Babe at 10 weeks. Babe is from Cackle Hatchery, so hatchery stock. and I THINK shes a she.

thank you very much for responding...they are such beautiful birds!

I have one that's 4 weeks and a couple days, she's mostly black. I can get a picture tomorrow if you'd like. I have read here that the more black feathers the chick has for gold and silver laced the greater likelihood of a hen. I sure hope so!

I just saw this thread tonight. Here are a few photos of my three GLW that I got from Meyers. They are about 81/2 weeks old.
