One of these things is not like the other............

Two SLW that are no longer even looking like the same breed. What do I have here? I think they are both SLW but does bird B look manly to you?

First two photos of one bird (Bird A) , second two photos of the other (Bird B)

They're still Silver Laced Wyandottes. . . There are two reasons they look different: One, Hatchery quality SLWs tend to have varying lacing quality - Some have a lot of white, some have a lot of black, and others aren't even all that laced. Two, they're still young so they certainly won't look "laced" yet.

I think they're both SLW, but am also thinking Bird B is looking like a roo. What do you all think?

Yes Bird B looks like a SLW Rooster, their coloring is a bit different from hens.

Very rooish.

Thanks, I really didn't have much hope that they were both girls...they just look so different. What do you call a male rooster that wears striped pantaloons!? He is very nice so far, quite calm. I guess we'll see, we know there is a Welsummer roo in our group of 16. Hope they get along!
