We bought a chick a couple years back at the local D&B Farm and Home. He was in the 99 cent bargain bin with a lot of little other day-old chicks of all types. I saw him there and thought he was a silver-laced Wyandotte and assumed he was a rooster, being the price he was.
Well, he grew into a pretty boy but not exactly what I thought he was going to be. He dropped dead last year, possibly his heart gave out.
His markings are interesting and I wish I had better pics of his front. He did have lacing on most of his breast feathers but it was contained to the ends. It was like a spangle pattern was limiting the lacing. Hope this makes sense.
I spent hours on the computer trying to figure out what he was. FeatherSite did have a pic of a silver-laced Rock and that was the closest pic I could find that looks like he did. I was so excited when I saw this part of the forum, maybe you guys can figure this out.
Thanks,
Carolyn
