Has anyone ever had a GLW that as a chick was mostly black? Like no 'gold' on them? I've got some 1 week olds (they're mix in with several other breeds) I can't tell if they actually put my GLW in or not! I have to SLW (obvious from their back pattern) and I have 3 CW (I'm fairly certain I know which those are..but then again..)







The last one I am about 98% certain is one of my SLW. Everyone else...who the heck knows. I'm just curious if anyone has gotten a GLW that doesn't have much gold as a chick.

I have a silver laced and gold laced on hold but i have hearts wyandottes can be aggressive. is this true for breed? They are beautiful and I really want them.  My coworker is telling me how horrible and mean her wyandottes were. Looking for a second opinion!!!  I have two 8 month old hens, and 3  11 wk old EEs.  I have 2 wyandottes, a buff orpington, and i RIR on hold. They will be about 7-8 wks old when i get them.

There are differences in the bloodlines. Some are nice and some are mean. I have had mean SLW cockerels and super nice ones, my BLR are super nice. The hens have never been mean in any of the different lines I have had.

Read the book called The Wyandotte Standard and Breed Book. It clearly discusses all the different issues related to feathers and breeding for lacing.
 
Sorry I changed the definition by hen feathering I mean not like a seabright it is a color fault on the wing with a lack of white

I can't tell 100% sure if that last picture the chick has gold on it because of the lighting. But in your other pictures, I do not see any GL.
