Black-Laced Wyandottes...

[Bettyboop7499]

OK, here are some pictures. If anyone can confirm all the types-that would be awesome! My husband bought most of them except the Barred Rock and Sebright Rooster and he listed off what he thought they were but really couldn't remember...

I have no idea what the white/red, yellow legs, single red comb

black-laced, yellow legs, red pea combs? My red ones I think are Rhode Island Reds...

single comb

black/red necks, dark legs, red single combs? Black Wyandotte's?

closer look of the shape of the comb with my Barred Rock in with her.

My black-laced ones are the only group that have two different combs- they were all "suppose" to be the same breed.
And, I did notice when taking a close up it looks as if we have a breakout of pox in the coop.

Ok, awesome! So here's what I see:
Pic 1: Some kind of mix.
Pic 2: A Silver Laced Wyandotte (that's a Wyandotte's rose comb!!)
Pic 3: A RIR at center and another SLW (Silver Laced Wyandotte)
Pic 4: A SLW with a single comb, a Black Sex Link (BSL) in the foreground with her back to us, and a RIR.
Pic 5: Definitely see the back of a BR, A BSL in profile on the right, a RIR in the background... the black ones, I can't tell for sure. if they're black bodied with gold heads, then they're also BSL.
Pic 6: A BR and two SLW!

Ok..I've been calling them Black-Laced Wyandottes but they are Silver-Laced which is SO much better!

An Amberlink? I've never heard of that one, I have four of those and I have not been able to figure them out! Thank you! And they are my most curious, fearless, they were the first to escape the brooder, to fly...they jump right into the feed bucket-they don't care!

So, with the SLW to get an "incorrect" comb they are a mixed breed?

You guys are just so awesome! Thank you!

Not necessarily... As I mentioned a while back, hatcheries will introduce a single combed hen into their breeding flocks every several generations or so, to keep egg production up in their lines.

Ok, do you know what the two different combs in my flock are called? The one I know is single but the other I'm not sure if it's rose, pea..?

Its a typical Wyandotte rose comb. They have a rose bud shape, and are flat, without knobs.
