Is This a Silver Laced Wyandotte?

[FarmSunnyside]

We bought Elsa last spring as a silver laced wyandotte chick but she seems to have a lot more white than our other silver laced. Thoughts? Is it just weird genetics?

Wow that IS a lot of white on her.

Her leg color is "off" too.

Maybe a mixed breed or very very poorly bred bird.

I have a very poorly bred bantam silver laced cochin. We call her Smudge.

Yes that's a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Just very poor lacing, common with hatchery birds.

To me she looks only 1/2 silver laced and 1/2 something else.
Maybe columbian.

She may not be pure, but she's cute as a button.

Where did you get her?

Where did you get her?

Family Farm and Home last spring. I'm not sure who they get chicks from though. I asked the employees but they just shrugged and said they unload the boxes when they get delivered and put up the breed signs.

Thank you so much!

I've never seen a Wyandotte who looks quite like this one, so I can't say with any confidence if she's purebred or mixed. But I will say that is one beautiful chicken!!!
