That poster is referring to silver laced pullets/hens as also carrying gold laced genes sight unseen or with the gold bleed and passing them on later to produce gold laced offspring. He's argued that point many times with me. I'm sure you can go back through this thread and get an idea of his...

Yes its time to tell everyone that the above information is still incorrect. Gold/silver is sex linked. A hen only carries one gene for this and can ONLY be silver or gold. If it carries silver it will not develop gold later. A rooster can carry one of each gene and will appear silver but...

If you're hatching solid white chicks from silver laced parents then the chicks are recessive white. That means the mother and father is carrying the gene. One copy goes sight unseen and two copies produce white chicks. There's no reason to breed them unless you're looking to produce whites...

Thanks for the heads up. Ya I've pretty much came to that conclusion. Seems from past posts that they got a few decent orps from someone and just continue to post those same pics year after year. I just post so others can think about what's being said and look into it further for themselves if...

For me that post went from funny to just plain way out there. Believe or make up what you will about me as a breeder and say what you will about the Orpingtons I've raised. Although I haven't raised the all mighty English silver laced Orpingtons I'd stand my orps up next to anyones and be proud...

Yes, this is very true, you can breed a Pure Silver Laced English Orpingtons to a Gold Laced and the resulting offspring will be daughters that are Pure Silvers and the males will be Gold Lace, That's correct that the pullets would be "pure silver" they are genetically the same as a pullet from...

I'm always looking to learn when it comes to genetics. I've been in this chicken game about the same amount of time as you have. I know a thing or two myself. And I will continue to post about this subject as long as you continue to post misinformation. It is plain and simple. Silver and gold...

Back to this nonsense again? Funny you tried to pass this off as accurate advice before. After I explained it you then asked your expert and he confirmed that a hen from a silver laced rooster over a gold laced hen is indeed pure for silver lace. Exactly what I tried to tell you. Now you're back...

Never said i was so aware of breeding the true English silver laced orpingtons. In fact I've never breed or owned a single one. But that doesn't matter. There is nothing unique about the silver laced pattern in the true English silver laced orpingtons. Its the same pattern and genes involved as...

Image that... That's exactly what I said. While you were advising not to do it because gold would pop up two generations later.

I couldn't agree less. Then again I'm finding that to be the case just about every time you post about genetics.

Isn't gold/silver sex linked? Hens only get one gene either silver or gold and get it from their fathers? He can breed a silver laced rooster to gold laced hens and produce silver laced pullets. They only get one gene and it would be silver so they are pure silver. When bred back to roosters...
