Out of a mixed batch of eggs with a pair of Gold Laced Wyandottes- but he was born mostly black!!! could he be a GLW or not??

He's starting to look like a GLW, but I've never seen a GLW chick hatch out black.

sorry I posted the wrong pic- he still didnt have evry distinct markings though- My next batch of chicks had VERY distinct markings.

He may be just a poorly laced Wyandotte. . . (which is common) - It looks like s/he is going to have an almost double-laced/partridge appearance, which would make sense with the dark coloration.

What kind of comb does this one have? It looks single to me but I can't see it very well because of the pic.

He has a rose comb- Is it possible that his dad was the GLW roo and his mom either a gold comet or a black australorpe to make this coloring? Would he still have the rose comb id=f the mom had a single?

 

[Illia]

Yes to the comb question. The black australorp would be the one to make this. A golden sex link would only create mostly white chicks or mostly golden chicks.
