Purebred Silver Laced Wyandotte?

[mylittlezoo]

I've been offered this guy as a breeding rooster... he doesn't look like the purebred SLWs roos I've seen though..... Would really appreciate some opinions!

Thanks!

I am no expert but I see a little bit of a cross in him.

See, that's what i thought. Anyone else?

im no expert on the breed but he does look like a X

He looks like a typical production-bred Silver-Laced Wyandotte cockerel to me.

It is a roo from a cross of a GLW roo over a SLW hen, he has the silver laced color, but goldish tint in the hackles like yours.

What are you feeding them? Is the diet high in corn?

If you're being offered him as a purebred SLW I'd say to say thanks, but no thanks. I'd say he's more than likely a cross.

i agree i have a Quad of them and none of my past roos have looked like that has to be a Cross

He looks like a cross to me or he might be a GLW x SLW
