A couple of months ago a bloke phoned and asked if I had any black laced silver wyandottes. I can remember having seen them named this in that book. I told him that he meant silver laced wyandottes and yes I did keep them. He then got quite shirty and said that he had seen in his book that they were called black laced silvers and since it was a book, IT must be correct and I obviously was either wrong, or didn't have what he was looking for and was trying to sell him something else (shrug). What you in fact have is blue laced wyandottes Back to top mojo Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 10928 Location: GLENAY north deux sevre FRANCE Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2006 8:46 pm    Post subject: fenny........ its like the telly if its on the telly it must be right................musnt it?.......luv mojop.s. ive seen a chicken book that list campinhills as a breed Back to top summayah Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 4289 Location: luton Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2006 11:23 pm    Post subject: It's a bit like children in school ~ if miss says it's so, then it is Back to top thewinkingtiger Joined: 31 Aug 2005 Posts: 936 Location: East Yorkshire, UK Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 12:02 am    Post subject: Could be blue laced red wyandottes!
