I think I've been duped! SLW experts needed!

I've been thinking all along that my cockeral is a SLW, but after looking at the pics of them and the Silver-Penciled Wyandottes, I think that's what I have. Or is it just too early to tell? He's 18 weeks.

Here is my SLW at 20 weeks. I would say you got duped!

hummm nope that is not a SLW roo. I agree you were duped.

I hate to say it, but he looks like he is supposed to be a SLW. If you look at his breast and other areas you can see a little white in the feather surrounded by black. He muct be a hatchery bird.

Looks penciled to me. He is pretty though!

Yes, from Mt. Healthy. So, you're saying that hatchery birds aren't always true to form, but could still be the breed that I ordered?

 

[flyingmonkeypoop]

Yeah, I have seen hatchery SLW's that are almost solid black with very little color on them.

Thanks everyone!
