YAMCIQ (Yet Another Mystery Chick Identification Query)

[L7 Farm]

Mystery chick ID request. She came in a batch of Buff Orpington chicks and is pretty obviously not a Buff Orpington.

My wife grew up raising chickens on her parents' farm, but they had mostly Rhodies and Leghorns, so she has declined to hazard a guess. We only recently started keeping chickens on our little farmlet when our town ordinance was changed (and still we had to get an appeal granted because our historic farm buildings counted against our outbuilding quota!), and this is our first brood.

Thanks for any guesses! I know it will be easier shortly when she's fully feathered out but curiosity finally triumphed over my shyness in asking , and she's got some decent plumage working at this point.

She's got a ton of personality and was the boss chicken pretty early on, fwiw, if that helps. Bigger than the Orpingtons.

I'm not absolutely positive, but I believe it's a blue laced red Wyandotte.

Blue Laced Red Wyandotte.

Thanks! That would be interesting. We're right in the area where Wyandottes were developed, supposedly.

Then maybe it's destiny! The blue laced red are a newer variety and quite attractive in color.
