Sold as Blue Laced Gold Wyandottes…But Are They Really?

[HensAndFriends]

I bought 4 straight run chicks that were sold as Blue Laced Wyandottes, but I am seeing two different feather patterns emerging!

Are they the BL Wynadotte and it is just the male and female feather patterns? Or is it a different Wynadotte breed?

This is my first time having Wynadotte btw

Thanks guys!

I think they are gold laced Wyandottes instead of blue laced red.

Okay!
For more info, I have 2 chicks with the darker pattern, and 2 chicks with the golden black pattern.

So the pattern difference is the same breed but maybe 2 Roos and 2 pullets?

No, it's just variation in color. Nothing to do with gender.

Wait… this struggling little baby (she had bloody poops on day 2, we are on day 3 of Corid drench) is supposed to be a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, but after seeing yours I think they might have given me something else…?

Looks like your chicks are also Golden Laced Wynadottes!
Mine were sold as Blue Laced too

Also: Is there any possible chance to figure out if I have a roo or pullet? Or do I just have to wait for the wattles, comb, saddle feathers, and/crowing lol?

I don’t know how Wyandottes are sexed. This lil baby is my first (and she’s doing better today, poops normal, up and eating and scratching around, yay!)

Found a thread here about it and Mr MKK farms said ‘cockerels often feather in slower then pullets’ but that’s still several weeks away for the little ones.

That looks blue laced to me

Could have partridge somewhere in the stock but should molt out

Interesting.
Are there partridge wynadottes?
So, some Wynadotte breeds/patterns can molt out?!

This is my first time with this breed so thanks for your patience with the newbie questions
