Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Breeding Questions

[ThreeSpringsRanchChickens]

VERY new to this, so lots to learn still. This hen was sold to me as BLRW but is splash I think? Please correct me if any of this is inaccurate.

Then I found a young cockerel up for sale that I hope to breed to her once he's grown.

What would be possible color outcomes for these two? Do I need a black laced red to get true blue?

The Andalusian Blue gene works in Blue-laced Red Wyandottes the same way it does in other blue breeds. Your correct that the hen is Splash. She's still considered a Blue-laced Red. A Splash BLRW and a Black BLRW would result in 100% Blue BLRW chicks. You'll get about 50% Blue and Splash BLRW from the pairing you have now.

Following for more info. I'd love some labeled pics of what is considered blue, black and splash. These are 3/4 of my BLRW, my other hen is in the nestbox broody.

All three of the BLRW pictured have two copies of the blue gene; therefore, they are considered splash. If the broody hen is that light, she is also splash and you will only get splash chicks from them.

Not the best pic of her. She is mean as a snake right now. I think shes splash too
