Blue laced or black laced?

[rascal66]

I got this 'Blue laced red Wyandotte' chick from the store. Lady had Black laced and apparently this one was the last "blue". As she is feathering out, I cant help but see black. Is this blue or black?

The down seems blue, and it almost looks like it is blue, but its so dark it really seems black on the wing feathers.

Opinions?

My black & white Wyandotte looked nothing like that so maybe she'll get more blue with time?

I sure do hope so! I was so excited to get this color. I mean of being fine if it was black but was really looking forward to adding the blue to my flock.

I googled it and she looks like a brown & black one

She looks blue to me. The down is too light to be a black laced. Time will tell.

Looks like a plain ole Gold Laced "aka Black Laced Gold" to me. Looks more gold than red. Post updated pics in few weeks.

Even after seeing the updated pics, its Golden laced, I have a few 6ish week old ones outside in my coop. I have a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte that is a little younger. Let me go get his picture real quick
