I have a chocolate gold laced hen and rooster. The hen has lovely dark lacing but the rooster is a bit lighter. My question is, if I breed them will the chicks turn out lighter as well? Should I breed the hen to a chocolate rooster or black rooster to get dark lacing?

I just started feeding some barley that I got from my son after he brewed beer. I feed small amounts of this along with the laying pellets hoping it will give them more energy during our cold northern ontario winters. I keep it frozen. They seem to love it. Any feed back would be appreciated.
