The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

[Pattycat]

My original wyandotte is not from a hatchery. She was from a breeder in the area in which I lived. I just got an assortment from her and was lucky enough that I was able to recieve these chicks. I was going to breed her with the hatchery chickens, but I think I will take your advice. We love our girls and want to make sure that they have the best of everything.
I will look into these places. Thanks for the heads up.

Here is the Standard of Perfection for SLW, so the closer to these birds you get, the better.

This is my girl!

Exactly, she is nice but definitely not show quality. Does mean you can't breed her and have fun doing so though!

Very pretty @Pattycat . Ours has the fluffiest butt I've ever seen. Its this a normal SLW trait, or did we just get lucky with a Miss Fancy Pants?

Here's Misty, one of my favorites in our flock! I think she's beautiful, but we're only raising our chooks for production ATM.

Oh no, they all have fancy fluffy butts behind their beautiful feathers. They remind me of can can girls. I am hoping that my Cherry gets those beautiful adult feathers. She is still a pullet, so we are waiting to see what her moult brings.

@PeakyBeaky Could I send you a pm about your silver laced? I'm looking to add a hen or pullet to my breeding pair and am trying to find a female to offset some their low points
