Neither of the two 'blue lace Wyandottes' that I bought resemble one in any way. The auracana is hard to miss though. If you get a minute, maybe you could look at the pictures of them that I just posted and venture an opinion? (The pictures are not nearly as clear as yours, but possibly you can see if mine resembles yours suspiciously closely or not?) Thanks!

They look very similar to Barred Rocks (much more common) and Dominiques (rare). If the feed store had blue-lace Wyandotte's it wouldn't be surprising if they had Cuckoo Maran's as well, they're trendy right now. They lay chocolate brown eggs. Sadie is a Cuckoo Maran.

She looks like what I thought was a barred rock..? (I have a two month old that looks just like that. Was labeled as a blue-lace Wyandotte at the feed store where I bought her - but in no way resembles one, Am trying to figure out what she really is). So what type of chicken did you say Sadie was?

The banties seem to hold their own very well. Agnes (my oldest banty) is actually pretty near the top of the pecking order. Oscar seems to be lording it over Felix and the two littlest ones are good at running and hiding so far. I've found that with banties their personalities usually make up for any deficit in size and that they're usually pretty far up the pecking order. Go for it!

I love the look of Wilma. We're considering bannies next year: have you had problems with them getting picked on? Such pretty chookies! I love the look of Wilma.
