Gold Laced Wyandotte? Wha?

[Ol Grey Mare]

Dark Cornish. Barnevelder would be single combed.

Hi, new here. Been lurking a while, thanks for a lot of good info! We got these 2 girls and were told they were pure Gold Laced Wyandottes. I'm relatively certain they are a mix. They are beautiful but not what we expected of course. They have great personalities but are a tad flighty. I know the kid my son got them from had some Black Copper Marans, he was "Frankensteining" Olive Eggers, and a few Ameracanus. My guess is probably a mix of of Maran? Just thought I would get some more experienced opinions. If I don't get a chance to respond timely I thank you in advance...Thanks! ✌View attachment 1100279 View attachment 1100284 View attachment 1100287 View attachment 1100288

Hey, welcome to BYC!

Chickens ARE pretty Metal!! (supposed to be head bangin')

Anyways, so many mixed reviews from different peeps all with a good eye... I'm gonna say mix is most likely.

Feather legged would be IF your friend was breeding Marans to the French standard. I see way too many clean legs these days. Those legs are pretty yellow for Marans or Ameraucana. But Wyandotte do have yellow legs! Do both girls have the same color ear lobes? Them look like some Franken hens to me... Did they get names already or start laying eggs yet?

They are pretty girls though!

Dark cornish

Looks at chunky figure.

Barnlevender are slender birds and more evened out/slender

Looks like a Barnvelder to me too.

I think mixed breed as dark Cornish are broader birds, barnevelder have single combs and GLW would be laced on the neck as well.

Interesting birds whatever they are.

I am thrown by them being double laced....

Defiantly not pure Cornish cause they should be slightly chunkeyer.
