Hi,
This is supposed to be a 4 week old SLW. Got it as a 1day old.
However.... it looks like nothing of whst I see posted. I am attaching baby chick pic and more recent ones.

Where did you get it?
Some kinds of chickens get baby feathers with one pattern, and later grown-up feathers with a different pattern. (And the adult pattern is the one we always seem to see in photos.)

I've seen patterns a bit like that on Dark Cornish chicks (grew up double-laced) and Buckeye chicks (grew up almost solid red.)

This page has quite a few photos of Wyandotte chicks. I see several "laced" ones with feathers that have crosswise stripes like yours currently does.

Thanks! I do see similarities with my laced chick. I got it from a breeder (i sent pics, awaiting a response). She did sell GLW too but was sold out of those.
Most online pics show a linear lacing and mine is kind of crossed as you said. Time will tell. Just hoping for a girl, i dont care if itnis a mix😀
