I know a little about color genetics in chickens, so i know you can breed blue, black and splash together, etc.
But i was wondering what would happen if you breed at blue, black or splash to a laced chicken of the same breed?
Would some come out laced and others come out solid? Or would the colors/patterns mix? I have no idea and have seen nothing on the subject.
Any help would be great, thanks!
 
Solid blue, black, or splash X laced = bunch of either blue or black birds with a little leakage.

Lacing is a collection of many genes while solid blue, black, or splash is just two main genes at play, one of them being quite dominant to lacing as a whole, and thus making a solid bird with a little leakage (brown, red, or white color coming in on the neck and possibly breast and shoulders)

Otherwise, solid speaking -

Blue x Blue = 50% blue 25% splash 25% black

Black x Blue = 50/50 black or blue

Splash x Blue = 50/50 splash or blue

Splash x Splash = 100% splash

Blue x Splash = 100% blue
