Silver Laced Wynadotte - or not?

[kateseidel]

Five of my Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks look alike, but one of them is quite a bit different in size, markings, and temperament. I am wondering if she might be something else altogether (although she remains my favorite!!)

The redness is, of course, due to my red heat lamp.

I have no idea-but they're so cute!!

Its really hard to tell in the pic because of the heat lamp... (we're guilty of taking pics like that too..

) if I had to guess, I'd say she is probally something different. SLW are mainly black. Can you post a different pic? And... Where did you get them? A hatchery? We'll get it figured out!

I need a face shot to tell

This one has the color differences better. The top chick is my Madeline, the two lower are (if you're interested) Lucy and Acorn). These came from McMurray. The colors are right, the pattern is just so different.

Its a SLW too. Google Silverlaced Wyandotte chicks, and then hit the image tab... They can vary quite a bit. Maybe the one in question will have more lacing than the others.

Thanks - I think I will just run downstairs and give her a kiss for being the itty-bitty.

I posted some pictures yesterday of the slw that I just hatched out. There are a few orps in the picture too....those are the solid dark ones...the rest are all slw. You can see mine vary somewhat too.
Here's the thread with the pictures:
