If this is an answer to my question, then theyre gold laced? But what about the blue-ish color in them? Are they blue laced gold wyandottes

Blue Laced Red Wyandotes are a " dark mahogany "red.... whether they r blue, splash or black. They should "not" have gold, orange etc on them at all... The reason you are seeing a difference in color is because often hatcherys do not perfect breed type/standard. Many hatchery breeds fail to even come close to breed type let alone color. They are mass producing! Much more goes into an actual breeding program for correct type/color etc. Hatchery birds can be great layers though. I have some myself in my layer coop but not in my breeding pens. Any breeder of BLRW should be working hard to eliminate incorrect color and being sure it looks like a wyandotte... I don't believe there's technically a blue laced gold here but its more proper to call them that than blrw...

great info, thanks, they i guess theyre BLRW but not even close to the standard of the breed, lol, what a boomer, but hey im happy with them, since i only have dominiques and cuckoo marans ionly see black and white strips and is nice to see a different color in the flock

It is too hard to judge off one picture and it would not be fair to the bird.

weight
age
close up of head
front view
rear view
over the top view
legs and feet need to be included in the front and rear view

The only think I can tell you about this bird is that he looks young and his saddle feathers look bright orange. His conformation looks like a V and not an O. He looks to have good mahogany color in the shoulders. His top line looks OK and should improve with age and tail maturing. He should loose more of the orange color as he ages.
