The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

15 weeks old now. Do you still think she is a pencil laced silver partridge? Many thanks.

I'm still quite the amateur at this and I asked this question yesterday on the breed/gender page...

I have 6 SLWs from eFowl (Cackle). 5 are suppose to be pullets and one is a roo. I was afraid of the pink/red tinge all the combs are turning and I was assured my pullets are pullets. Mine are 5 weeks old. At 9 weeks, I'm not seeing very prominent wattles on yours which would lead me to believe it is a pullet. Also the rose comb on my roo is much wider. But like I said, I'm very new at this or maybe I'm not seeing well enough in the video.

Here's my roo. (5 weeks old)




And here's some of my pullets...

Thanks! I am just going to wait and see at this point. I am leaning (and hoping for) towards a pullet. She/he has no wattles at all. It does have a pinker comb than my other chicks (which are all other breeders, so maybe not comparable), but the comb is not developing or getting larger. It also does not stand/walk in a very roo like way (upright). If it starts to crow, then I'll know, lol.

This was sold to me as a BR. I think she may be a SLW.

Yes, I think so! She looks exactly like mine. Mine is 18 weeks old.

Well, personally I think she is much more beautiful then a Barred Rock! However, chicken beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I hope you enjoy this beautiful hen.

A beautiful SLW at that!

Thank you! She is gorgeous, but very skittish. I hope she calms down once she starts laying!
