Can You make a blue laced Cochin?

This is old but I love what you've done, I too am curious about this blue laced red cochin, I've been searching for so long and I finally found someone with directions. Could I try for this effect of blue lacing, with the red by using a female blue laced red wyandotte and a male cochin?

From my end the project continues with the Brahmas.






And has since branched into another side project, a separate pen of double laced
.

WOW those are stunning!

First let me say Hi, to everyone. I am new to chicken breeding, but have fallen in love with the color of a chicken I saw. It is a blue laced Wyandotte. But Is it possible to cross a blue cochin and a gold laced Cochin and get the same markings? Or maybe a blue and a buff laced one? any ideas?
Thanks for your advice. I just want to raise unique and pretty chickens, not the blah everyday colors you normally see (red, white, black.)

I'm new to breeding too, I've been studying chicken genetics, and as long as you have a homozygous splash cochin and a homozygous gold laced cochin, if you breed the two, you should get blue laced gold cochins... if you want to learn the basics of chicken genetics, you can look at a playlist on "chickens in my garden" youtube channel.

now that i think about it, if you did that, you would either get a blue/gold pencilled, melanotic, or columbian chick... those are all very pretty though

Gold laced cochins are on the Partridge e locus. A Splash Cochin would most likely be on the Extended Black e locus. So the resulting offspring would be blue with leakage. You'd have to breed the children back to each other. About 1/4 would be on the Partridge e locus. From those pick the birds with the best blue lacing (or pattern that looks the most like lacing) and breed them back to a gold laced bird.

All of this sounds a lot easier than it actually is, there are about four different genes needed for proper lacing. Also because pattern changes so much with molting it will take awhile to see what a birds actual pattern is going to be.

wow they are beautiful! It's nice to know someone is on the same wave length as me...lol. The chicks have very similar markings,. more blue than red, but they are pretty.of course i can see the split between mom and dad going right down thier legs.
Well, i think i'll keep them in the feather footed gene pool, i think i can live with gold laced blues. instead of red it will be a tan color(theoretically speaking, i dunno, i'll just have to try and see what hatches). but hopefully the same effect will happen. i just love the brown/red outlined in blue. Thankyou so much for sharing. the pictures are beautiful!

Where is this project at now, please?
