i had a hatchery Cochin bantam from TSC that was all black with a head spot and little gold stripes on its face. It feathered in with white spots everywhere but gold on it head. Turned out to be a gold laced. The only telltale sign was it's face striping. It makes me wonder if yours could be silver laced bc of the face stripes. I know if doesn't look Wyandotte at all but but sometimes with hatchery birds that happens. I've seen pics of single comb hatchery wyandottes. Not saying that's what it is I'm just sharing my experience with an odd one. I'm very curious to see how yours turns out and hope you share the final results. Here's a couple pics of mine.first pic as a chick you see she's black and white but you can't see her head spot good. Her stripes are very obvious though. Second pic is how she looked at a few months old. Now she's completely gold laced with no white anywhere.

I was so sure I had her figured out lol. I'm not a very patient person and this is driving me bonkers. I also have the other 3 to try to identify too lol

The one in the pics drove me crazy too so I know the feeling! I did at least know her breed just her coloring was giving me fits. It's a fun learning experience isn't it? I bet you'll have her figured out before you know it so don't sweat it.

I just purchased 2 golden laced wyandotte, your chick photo is totally not wyandotte. Attached is a photo with (2) Silver Cuckoo Marans and (1) Black Australorp that I purchased 8/4. Your chick photo is close to the Marans but a slight difference. I'm not sure what it is.
