Thanks he is so proud,guess I will have to wait for the other slw to hatch and compare,I also have some shamo eggs I bought from a breeder 2 lovely yellow and a blue chick hatched then another identical yellow came out of a white silkie egg or so I thought I hope I havnt got them mixed up I will ry to post some pictures of the shamo quandry meanwhile I am still looking for someone to identify the supposedly slw.the picture underneath is him side on
 
Here's the link to FeatherSite and their pictures of Wyandotte chicks (at the bottom of the page). The first pic of slw chicks, now that's what mine looked like at that age. The next pic of a slw chick, however, is considerably lighter! Your little guy could be a slw, just a very light variation of chick coloring! I do so love a good mystery.
