Yes! She is from Meyer Hatchery (LeAnn's Grab Bag).. so online hatcheries have some sort of relation towards the amount of white on her?Looks like a silver pencil to me. Is she from an online hatchery? If so that would explain the excessive amount of white on her.
Aww! I used to have a silver laced cochin bantam hen, I miss her dearly. She died a few months ago, her name was Chocolate (because when they're chicks they're brownish coloured? y'know?) haha but Smudgie is adorable!The hatcheries are not breeding to meet standards. Their goal is simply to hatch and ship.
My silver laced is named Smudgie for a reason.
