Silver-laced English Orpington: (Ignore the yellow legs/feet on the last two photos. Orpingtons should have white skin and those birds have been removed from the breeding program along despite excellent type and lacing.):

Recessive White English Orpington: (Disclaimer: These birds came out of my Silver-laced birds, so they carry Silver-laced genes under the White.)

I am also working with Blue-Silver-laced English Orpingtons, although I only have F1's on the ground and the lacing is not heavily evident from the first cross. You might show the process of developing/breeding them with the calculator though. Some of my BBS birds also carry the Mottled gene as I'm hatching out Mottled chicks. I've also recently added Black/Lavender Mottled birds but they are chicks.

Thank you so much! Sorry didn't see these, my notifs have been flooded from the Cochins vs. Orps thread. You sure have some real beauties!

Your Orpingtons are stunning!

Are the silver laced orps partridge based? And do the blues have any other genes to enhance lacing or are they just blue? Sorry if these are dumb questions (I don't know much about orpingtons).

Are the Whites also called Opals? I hear friends around with me that breed Legbars refer to Opals sometimes.

I honestly couldn't tell you how they developed the Silver-laced color. I'm complete rubbish when people start talking in-depth genetics. Most of what I know is self taught and application from genetics you learn in high school. lol So I can do BBS, recessive genes, I know white skin is dominant to yellow, but the minute someone starts using letter and symbols I have flashbacks to algebra and just panic.

The "normal" blues don't have any additional colors crossed into them to improve their lacing. The F1 Blue Silver-laced pullets have the tiniest bit of silver in some feathers mainly the neck and hackle area but also have white-ish legs which makes identification easier. I just crossed a Silver-laced male over the Silver-laced hens to get them. Unfortunately they threw way more black chicks than blues and I only ended up with two pullets. I'll probably do the cross again in the Spring when I have the Lavender Silver-laced covering the Black Silver-laced hens to get a bunch of split Lavender pullets to breed back to their father. The best F1 Blue Silver-laced pullets will be bred back to an unrelated Silver-laced male and if I did the genetics correctly in the calculator, out of every 47 eggs I should get a laced pullet. I'll continue to breed them back to Silver-laced until the lacing is really locked in which according to the calculator is doable in three generations and then I'll let the best Blue Silver-laced cockerel and a Black SL cover the best Blue Silver-laced hens to produce the first Splash Silver-laced.
