This is supposedly my SLW.But it is obvious from these pics,she must have something else. She has some slight golden in her neck, no Pea comb,and isn't a very fluffy hen, she is quite skinny.
If you have any ideas of what she is, please tell me.

She is a production type silver laced wyandotte, nothing in the mix. I have one who looks just like yours that I keep for comparison's sake. The difference between hatchery/production stock and breeding stock is quite large
Got some pics of my SLWs the other day...
Astrid, the only one that's laying. She's in a pen with my wheaten Ameraucana cockerel to make me some olive eggers at the moment:
One of her eggs:
Freya. Her and Astrid are over 9 months old now, so I'm hoping Freya will start laying soon:
And, last but not least, little Percival (Percy). I've been having a hard time convincing myself he's a boy, since he's growing so slowly, but he's from a hatchery, sexed as a male, so I continue to have faith. He does seem to be getting more white on his wings, and he's only 17 weeks, so there's hope for him yet:
That's my Splash Laced Red Wyandotte pullet in front and my Blue Ameraucana cockerel behind him
I can't wait for Percy to get bigger so he can help me hatch out more SLW babies! I love my girls, and even though Percy is a bit of a wuss, I still love him, too. Can't really blame him, anyway...there are 3 other older cockerels he has to contend with, so that could have something to do with him maturing more slowly.

I realize that most of you prefer show quality SLW's, but I'd like to give a thumbs up for production quality, too, like the ones I got free last year. They are easy to handle, and really do well in severe heat and severe cold, and they lay consistently. I will definitely get some more for more my flock.
I haven't been on the BYC forums for a long time so I wanted to share some of my birds. I'll have to catch up on the forums at some point.

Definitely a cockerel....he has saddle feathers coming in and his comb is VERY red for 4.5 months. Sorry to disappoint.
