Wyandotte or Throw Back - Pictures

[DragonEggs]

Shes very pretty. At least I hope it's a she for you! I was just thinking the hackle feathers look pointed but I'm no wyandotte expert.

She looks just like one of my GLW hens. My hen has a single comb and poor lacing. Hatchery quality birds. People who don't know chickens always think she's one of my most beautiful birds.

Yes, I bought her as a day old chick from McMurray. I have pics of her at at about 4 weeks of age, but they are on my Iphone. I need to find the cord to transfer them to my computer. I will work on that.

She hatched around 5/5. The spots on her chest look like hearts. I hope they stay the same shape as she grows. I would love to breed more like her. I have a SLW and Columbian Wyandotte roo. Wondering which may be a better cross for a shot at more spots. I'd be pretty thrilled to start a silver spangled wyandotte project.

I think it's not surprising to get SLWs that are mismarked and have the wrong combs from a hatchery. They breed for quantity and do not cull for quality like a good breeder does.

Are you sure it is a Wyandotte?
I looks more like someone crossed a Columbian Plymouth Rock with a Silver Spangled Hamburg to me....

She is simply gorgeous, no matter what she is! (Although I'd vote for SLW.)

I LOVE those heart spots! Just WOW.
