Supposed to be a BLRW

[dlamb82]

Ok, I need some help everyone. My husband went and got BLRW from TSC so we KNOW these are hatchery birds and will not come close to the standard everyone is working towards. We will sell them for pretty back yard laying hens and may keep a couple for ourselves to help replace some of our laying hens we lost over the winter. Anyways, I know not to expect the correct coloration, body type, lacing etc however I am seriously questioning if this one chick is a BLRW? She is not a splash, blue or black...I mean she has grayish and white feathers coming in...she resembles my white faced pied cockatiel I had as a teenage at this point. 3 weeks old as of Thursday, what do you all think? I did post this same question to the BLRW thread. Thanks!

That's a Silver Laced Wyandotte

Thanks, your the second one who said that. They didn’t have any in the delivery so maybe she got mixed in with the blrw

I don’t have any slw, just my 4 adult blrw and 3 glw so as long as she is really a she I will probably just keep her for my laying flock to so I have one.

Must have got in the wrong bin at the hatchery

Alright my chicken expert peeps! So my SLW that you all helped me identify is now 4 weeks old and almost completely feathered. I think Roo like several of you suggested but I wanted to see what you all think now?

100% cockerel

Thanks! I don’t want to keep him then but I want to make sure I am not telling someone he’s a Cockrill and he’s a pullet!

Perfect! Thanks everyone! Bummer cause I don’t have any SLW and it would have been neat to add one to the flock but I just got rid of 1 Rooster today, which leaves me with 2 plus I have 5 straight run BLRW chicks and 26 BLRW eggs who should start hatching this evening
