This is suppose to be a GLW

[MotherOfChickens]

So this baby is suppose to be a GLW. But s/he has whitish colored tips on the feathers. Any ideas what s/he is exactly? I’ve never had Wyandottes before.

TIA

I think those may just be baby feathers thar will soon fall out and be replaced with adult ones. You can see some that are already in and they are gold.

No clue… they’ve come in with the brown feathers. I have another GLW and there are no whitish tips on her at all.

Strange. Are those two different-lookimg ones the same age? It's been a couple of years since I raised GLWs so I don't remember the feather stages clearly.

Are these from a hatchery or a breeder? It appears to be some “leakage” which is another color/gene showing through.

Yes. Same age, approximately 4-5 weeks old

I got them from TSC, which I know is a gamble on what you’re getting

Do you have a picture of the entire chick? I’m leaning towards just a hatchery quality GLW with leakage because from what I can see those other feathers are golden laced, but without seeing the comb and whole bird I can’t say 100% it wasn’t in the wrong bin.

I will try and get some this evening and I’ll post them

Not the best, but these are some I already had. I’ll try and get better tonight
