I think she is a backHi all! After drooling over this variety for years we were finally able to get one! She's from Meyer hatchery, so I don't expect her to be quite up to standard but I'm hoping for half decent lacing at least. We were hoping for blue, but we're limited to 6 chickens so we only got one. We were slightly disappointed when our chicks arrived and our wyandotte looked like she was probably black laced.
But i know that blue can be so dark as to look black, so I've been watching and hoping as her feathers started coming in over the last 3 weeks.

On my black laced red pictures in my above post, her iridescent showed at 15weeks. Maybe a little sooner. If in the sun when she was younger you could see it but at 15 weeks it was visible all the timeWhat age does the green iridescence usually start to come in on black feathers?
