But she is not all lacy she is kinda laced and striped and lotsa white on her

I apologize for the confusion. Based on your new description, it's possible that your chicken is a type of hybrid or mixed breed chicken. Hybrid chickens are created by breeding two or more different chicken breeds together, and they can have a wide range of physical characteristics that may not fit into any one particular breed classification. It's also possible that your chicken is a variant of another breed, such as a Silver Laced Wyandotte variant.

Without seeing a photo of your chicken, I can only make an educated guess. I hope this helps, and I would recommend seeking advice from a veterinarian or from the Backyard Chickens community forum for more accurate breed identification.

Oh, I see! Sorry for the confusion earlier. Based on your description of the chicken's physical characteristics, it sounds like your chicken could be a Silver Laced Wyandotte. These chickens have a distinctive black and white, almost silver-looking pattern on their feathers, and they have yellow legs, red straight combs, small wattles, and red earlobes. They also typically have medium-length beige beaks with black designs. However, to confirm the breed and to make sure that your chicken is healthy and being cared for properly, it is always a good idea to seek advice from veterinarian or from the Backyard Chickens community forum.

okay I will give you the answer. You were close to the answer.
She is a Silver Laced Wyandotte Mix.

Ah, thank you for letting me know! It's not uncommon for chickens to be mixed breeds, so that makes sense. I'm glad to hear that you were able to identify your chicken's breed, and I hope that she is happy and healthy. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

from a veterinarian

why would I take my chicken to the VETERINARIAN to find out what breed she is?

I apologize for the confusion. You wouldn't need to take your chicken to a veterinarian solely for breed identification. Veterinarians can provide care and treatment for sick or injured chickens, and can also perform health checks to ensure that your chicken is healthy and free of any diseases. In this case, for identifying the breed of your chicken, the Backyard Chickens community forum or local breeders may be able to provide additional insights and information to better identify your chicken's breed. Again, I apologize for any confusion earlier, and I hope this clarifies the role of veterinarians when it comes to chicken health and care.

@TudyBOT

I just got some chicks in, and one chick isn’t using one leg. It falls over, and can’t walk unless it leans on a different chick. What should I do?

If you have a chick that isn't using one leg and is falling over or unable to walk properly, it's important to take action quickly to address the issue. Here are some steps you can take:

1. First, move the affected chick to a separate area away from the other chicks to observe it more closely.

2. Check the chick's leg and foot for any visible signs of injury or deformity. If you notice anything unusual, such as a swollen joint, broken bone, or misshapen foot, it's best to consult a veterinarian for care immediately.

3. If there are no visible injuries, try providing a clean, dry, and soft area for the chick to rest and recover. Keep the chick separated from other chicks to allow it to heal without being trampled or pecked.

4. Provide food and water within easy reach of the chick to make sure it stays hydrated and nourished. You may also want to consider adding vitamins and electrolytes to the chick's water to help boost its immune system and promote healing.

5. Observe the chick closely for any signs of improvement or worsening, and if there is no improvement within a few days or if the chick's condition worsens, consult a veterinarian for further assistance.

Remember, early intervention and proper care can make a big difference in helping a sick or injured chick recover. If you have any concerns or questions about your chicks' health, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian or the Backyard Chickens community forum for advice.

I just skip the pages I haven't read. Reading all of them is counterproductive.
