Is this REALLY a gold laced Wyandotte Pullet?

Nope... She's not. BUT, she is very pretty and will probably be a very good girl.

recent pic of mystery chicken. I have accepted that she is NOT a GLW (I have gotten a REAL GLW since the original post, YEAH) and I know she's a pullet (PHEW), but I'm still wondering what mix she is! She had black fuzz on her head, but her feathers came in red! She is also FINALLY getting a tail. It's coming in black. I tried to get a shot from the front, but every time I moved she moved and kept her back to me.

Whatever she is, she's very sweet and pretty.

No idea, but her feather coloration looks just like our GLW pullet did.

I agree she is not a GLW- but congratulations -she's a pretty pullet - if you can get a shot of her from the side and front it will help.

Also, for all you who said it can't be a Wyandotte because of her single comb- My GLW has a single comb, and yes it's a hatchery bird, but here's what I have read about it:
Breeders for hatcheries use the single combed birds in their breeding programs to keep the fertility high - if only rose combs are bred exclusively, the fertility is much lower -so occasionally they show up.
I'm no expert but that is what I have researched when my girl showed up and threw me for a loop with that comb.
She is a beauty queen except for her great-big-flop-over- single- comb!

Wyandottes can have single comb. I have been told the single comb are more fertile. I have a single comb cockerel.
