SLW 10 weeks, please say she is an Emma not a Roo!

[Tyaloria]

Such a beautiful little girl (I hope) other wise I think she can be my main Roo.
What do you think?

Thanks for helping!

Male, I reckon. Those wattles are rather plump for a hen of that type and age.

Best wishes.

A full body picture would help.

Are you sure that's a SLW, it almost looks like a silver seabright

you know what, she does doesn't she?
I'll try and get a full body pic

I agree. It does look like a Silver Sebright. With a full body profile showing the legs and tail, we should be able to tell for certain.

She is a bantam.
the first picture looks like in trying to strangle her! its difficult taking pics on your own!

This is my standard sized SLW hen. That looks like a silver sebright... I have a golden sebright roo... sorta looked like that...but with slate colored legs, not white. They both have rosecombs, so its hard to tell.
Though, I've never heard of a SLW bantam, and the lacings shouldnt be that great for a young age. SLW should also be more plump.

Also, looks like a hen for now. Even the hens gets well sized combs in both breeds.

After seeing the entire bird, I think you have a Silver Laced Wyandotte bantam hen (SLWs do come as bantams). The legs are not slate colored like those of a Silver Sebright (as PoultryQueen101 pointed out), and the tail does not look like a Sebright tail. I think your initial heading SLW is correct, you just need to add the word "bantam."

Actually...After comparing her with my SLW Standard....it does look like a SLW. I'd forgotten they came in bantam...was thinking of another bird.
Almost certain it's a hen.

If it were a S Sebright... it would have slate legs...and they are quite big for bantams (I think mine's over sized. )
