Silver laced wyandotte hen?

[lethldragon]

This is a hen, right? I was told it is about 9 months old.

That's a hatchery SLW hen.

yup, SLW hen.

Ok, thanks just making sure, how do you tell on the hatchery? Is it because of the coloring? They had another with alot more white but I liked this one better, lol

 

[kari_dawn]

the lacing isn't great quality, among other things (wyandottes tend to be very round). I recommend you look them up on google...it will give you a better idea of what they are supposed to look like

 

[lethldragon]

Ok, thanks

Hows the quality on this girl, she was bought from a breeder but I have no idea where the parents came from

Here's a pic of one of my SLW hens that I purchased from the foleys.
I'm not saying she's show quality but she comes from one of the top breeders in the USA. Sorry its a bad cell phone pic.

Here is my girl at bedtime last night

I had to test my new camera out, so I kept them up. They were not impressed.

ETA: It's all about what YOU like. It is your chicken after all

I got a Delaware that had smut feathers just because I liked the way they looked. I never planned to show her anyway
