No, he doesn't look like the standard for a silver laced wyandotte. 99.9% of hatchery birds don't. Nothing wrong with them, but they don't look like the breed should. This is one of my SLW roos

Hmm - I hadn't realized that hatchery birds are so different from standard. I was planning on ordering some chicks from Murray McMurray but if they aren't standard......I may have to re-think that.
Why are they different?

Most all of the pictures that the hatcheries use on their websites or in their catalogs aren't even their birds. Most of them will even tell you they aren't theirs if you ask (which I have), or say the pictures are only representative of the breed.

Why are they different?
They are different because hatcheries hatch for quantity, not quality as a good breeder will.
