Wyandotte or Barnevelder?

[TheNewFeathers]

I adopted this lovely lady at 18 months old as a "barnevelder". I've had people locally tell me she's actually a wyandotte.

She lays light brown speckled eggs. Any idea what her breed actually is?

She's a double laced silver Barnevelder.

Okay! That's what I thought. Someone just told me "they're so rare there's no way". Like, what the heck

They're uncommon but not ridiculously rare, depends where you are.
