Spangled Hamburg or Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster?

[jessivogel]

The Lady I Got Him From said he is a Hamburg, but I'm thinking Silver Laced Wyandotte. What do you guys think?

I would guess that he is a crossbred perhaps carrying some silver laced Wyandotte genes.

She got him from a feed store if that helps

I agree. He's beautiful.

Coming from a feed store, I think it's a VERY poor hatchery quality Silver Laced Wyandotte with a single comb instead of a rose comb. Unfortunately, single combs sometimes pop up in hatchery quality Wyandottes. It does beg the question though that Enola and I were discussing on an earlier thread, "When does a hatchery quality breed get so far off the SOP standards that it stops being that breed." )

So, I am new to chickens and the differences in breeds and such, a silver laced Wyandotte should have a rose comb? What is that? Do the hens have that too?

All Wyandottes no matter the gender or variety or supposed to have rose combs. They are much closer to the head and are slightly "flatter." If you google rose combs, you will see the difference
