The Wyandotte Thread

[syble]

I wonder if anyone can help me? I have a mixed lot of wyandotte chicks due to hatch tomorrow. there are blue laced red, silver laced, golden laced and blue/black as well. I figure the blue/blacks will be easy enough to pick out, but does anyone have day old pics(or there abouts) of the other 3? Also will a black phase of the blue laced red look like a normal golden laced?
Thanks
Sib

blue-laced reds

silver laced (plus a couple of orps)

Are you asking how the black phase will look as a chick or an adult?

I'm pretty sure the columbian gene is part of the Lacing gene combo. I believe you need the pattern gene, columbian, and melanotic to get laced, but I might be wrong. That would make chicks with bad lacing.
