Silver laced Wyandotte?

Your chicken is BEAUTIFUL, by the way! She's actually not a SLW, but she reminds me a lot of a Silver Penciled Rock.

No, that is not a SLW.

SLW would have darker background with lacing, yellow legs, a much heavier body, especially rounded, and a rose comb.

I think it is a mixed breed, possibly with Silver Penciled Rock...or just a mix. Might even be an Easter Egger.

Our Easter Eggers have pea combs and beards and muffs, and your girl has a single comb, so I don't think she's an EE. I'm actually betting on Silver Penciled Rock myself.

Thank y'all! I got her a few days ago, told she was slw but didn't think so!

You're very welcome!

...actually, while EE's often have pea combs and beards/muffs, they are hybrid mixes so they can have no beard/muff and single comb depending upon how the genetics fall.

It is important to realize there is no standard EE...it is not standardized like a breed but a mutt mix with hopefully enough Ameraucana blood in the background to produce beard/muff and pea comb but not always...it could also have Araucana in the background and be an EE and would not have beard/muff as Araucanas (at least the US version) do not. (US Araucanas have ear tufts and are rumpless, but that generally falls away in mix breeding).

Thanks for the correction, Lady of McCamley! Although I knew that EEs were a mutt breed, I didn't realize that it was possible for them to sport single combs. Guess I learned something new today.
