Not the best picture, but a pretty decently marked silver laced pullet.

Not sure what to make of this splash cockerel, kind of a spangled pattern, but he has good deep red shoulders. And a single laced blue red cockerel.front right.

A double laced blue cockerel and s single laced silver cockerel. A double laced splash red cockerel, back left.

A double laced black red cockerel. And the same in a heavily melenized version.

A double laced blue red pullet, closer to what I am shooting for. Have a couple better marked pullets that where either in the coop, or hiding in the brush when I was taking pictures today.

A double laced gold pullet. And a red, needs better middle toe feathering.

A very under laced blue/red pullet. A over laced blue red pullet

A couple blue columbian pullets, bird on left probably a gold, red on the right.

Took a few quick shots of a few of my birds this afternoon. Quite a variety came out of my blue laced red pens this year, not sure if some of these came out of the single or double laced pens.. Seem to be a few columbian patterned red pullets this year. A splash red columbian pullet. A...

A more recent shot, she has turned considerably lighter this go round.

A splash laced red hen sporting her brand new wardrobe.

Have a little more time to follow up on your question today. Looking at the photos of your birds at the bottom of post I would say you already have the genetic material to make blue laced gold Brahmas, if you stick with it. The component you appear to lack would be mahogany to get the deep red...

Not sure of your experience/knowledge in this area, so... basically blue is a diluter of black. A chicken with two copies of black will have black pigment in that part of their pattern. A bird with one copy of black and one copy of blue will have those black areas diluted to kind of grey, that...

He is definitely under laced. Puts me in mind of what you get about the second generation after outcrossing silver laced to light,(columbian). The cockerel on the right is the typical first generation result from that outcross. This male shows pretty good pattern. Your male also...

Blue to blue breeding will produce 50 % blue chicks 25 % splash chicks 25 % black chicks The formula holds true for all andalusian type blue, solid or part of a pattern such as blue partridge.

Gold, maybe even buff. Not so sure about splash. Blue, (and splash for that matter) can vary significantly in depth of color. From what I see in this photo, I'm leaning blue. So I would say blue laced gold, possibly blue laced buff.

Now a possible option with the grey hen, if you would put her with a well marked partridge male, could produce potentially decent partridge pullets as she is partially penciled. The male chicks from this cross would be split silver/ gold, likely look like a dark Brahma with brassy yellow...

Just going off color alone, I don't believe I would use the dark/melanistic male. As to the grey hen, I can not think of any advantage she might bring to your breeding program..

Need to work on getting a pea comb established, and I don't believe I would call a bird with that light of saddle feathers red, blue laced gold maybe.
