    a lot of genetic questions. Also making barred tolbunts?

    Here are a couple examples of incomplete lacing: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/rhode-island-red-hen-x-gold-laced-wyandotte-roo.349906/post-18042126 https://www.chickenforum.com/posts/122934/

    a lot of genetic questions. Also making barred tolbunts?

    I would focus on barring and lacing first since your birds don’t have mottling. Crossing one of the barred offspring back to a Wyandotte should give you 50% barred chicks, and more laced/incomplete laced patterns than you’re seeing now.

    Is this normal for a golden laced Wyandotte rooster

    I can see damaged feathers in the pictures, the feathers there do have a downy part, which is what you’re seeing since the top part of the feather is gone

    Bantam or not?

    She’s an old English game bantam

    Lavender/Blue EE Project Pen- Using a Golden Duckwing split to Lavender…?

    What about roosters? Even if the rooster wasn’t in the pen, hens can retain sperm for up to 1-2 months

    What breed do you think this is

    Sorry, rustic rock, California grays are a true breed

    Color genetic questions on orpingtons.

    None of the birds in the pictures are chocolate, the tan hue could be sun-bleaching or gold leakage (which is straw-colored on a lavender chicken). The chicks aren’t laced, they have buff leakage from the buff hens

    What breed do you think this is

    They’re a cross between barred rock and Rhode Island red

    Any idea what breed of rooster Mr Wiggs is?

    His lighter barring isn’t because he’s a marans or Dominique cross, it’s because he has the blue gene (he’s blue barred), though I agree that he could be a marans mix

    Lavender/Blue EE Project Pen- Using a Golden Duckwing split to Lavender…?

    He’s laced, so not a pure gold duckwing. His parentage definitely doesn’t make sense with his coloration, are you completely sure of parentage?

    What breed do you think this is

    I agree that they look like rustic rocks, definitely not cuckoo marans or cockerels

    Gorgeous hen!

    Color genetic questions on orpingtons.

    The left hen is lavender, the hen on the right is lavender mottled. Lavender (and mottling) are recessive, so lavenders will produce solid black chicks when crossed to a solid black chicken.

    Golden Laced Wyandotte (Rooster) x Buff Orpington (Hen) Cross

    Wyandotte lacing is based on genes that are often recessive to other genes

    Are these silkies?

    Silkie mixes

    What color is this? Partridge?

    I agree that he doesn’t look splash. Not completely sure if he’s silver columbian though? @Charityschmidt38 does the rooster have any other offspring? The pullet could be blue carrying some genes for partridge

    Are you wanting something more like a blue laced barnevelder with feathered legs?

    Opal legbar (lavender) x black Ameraucana question

    Opal and lavender are two separate things— lavender is a simple recessive gene that dilutes a chicken’s coloration, opal is a combination of gold duckwing, barring, and lavender. Opal legbars are probably also supposed to have the cream gene, but I’m not sure how much that impacts their...

    Looks like he is blue barred rather than black barred
