The splash is male, and the dark blue a female :)

Thanks guys, I don't intentionally breed for Splash but I like to keep a few - they are a nice variation of the BLRW :)

She's about 9 months old so not fully matured quite yet, but very nearly! :)

I suppose that makes sense, given that Splash and Black are both deviations from the Blue colour - I think our British names are much simpler! :p

In the UK we just call them splash laced wyandottes, however we also just call our blues, blue laced wyandottes instead of blue laced red wyandottes! I would imagine they would be called "splashed laced red" - given that they are splash and not blue so wouldn't really suit the " splash blue...

Looks blue to me, Splash would be a tad lighter :)

I have heard that breeding back to Splash can cause the lacing to deteriorate, I tend to breed blue to blue then every other year I chose a black laced hen with the best lacing and I breed my best laced blue boy to her. This way you keep and nice deep blue colour for the lacing and also maintain...

Yes Blue Laced Red :)

Not sure is that post was directed at my birds or not, I'll answer anyway. Male Wyandottes tend to have quite poor fertility anyway, given that they're a rose comb breed. I never thought about the feathers having an impact on their breeding though, I do trim their bottoms if they get a bit...

Thanks, I think you blue group looks brilliant though.

I completely understand where you're coming from with the black laced double lacing issues, however if we continue to breed blue to blue the colour will start to fade/deteriorate. It is recommended amongst other blue laced breeders to breed back to a good black laced cockerel every other year to...

Hi Bill1st, don't be concerned about your chicks. They all look perfect. Blue laced Wyandottes won't start to show any blue lacing until they are a couple of months old, until then they will look brown and in a couple of weeks time you may see a bit a blue bleeding in the feathers. They will...

Also have you bred back to a black laced wyandotte yet?

Well it looks like you've done the line well! Keep up the good work, I love your boy - he's gorgeous.

Very pretty, great type and colour. Who's line are they from?

I would say she will be a blue. As there is a bluish/grey colour coming through on her chest.

He does have lovely type, where I am in the UK I really struggle to achieve this kind of size in my wyandottes. However I think his lacing and his comb lets him down a bit, and I'm not sure I would breed from him if you were looking to show his offspring or maintain a good BLW group. But that's...

In my photo the Splash hen has much more white lacing than the blue hen. Which is why she is a Splash.
