not 100% , a blue BLRW has one gene to soften the black color.... if breed to a black BLRW you will get chicks with one half hatching out blue, and one half hatching out black.

very pretty birds..... but I am not sure what they are. the base color on all of them is such a warm and bright red... reminds me of a buff laced Brahma.. except that they do not have any feathers on the feet. The rooster doesn't look like he has any lacing... and the females only have a...

I dunno how common it is..... I only have one set of Wyandottes... Bantam Blue Laced Red, all from the same breeder... none have a single comb

however... some breeders like it if their rooster has only one rose comb gene... since there have been studies that show that a homozygous for rose comb (two rose comb genes) rooster might have lower fertility. With that said... I prefer a homozygous rooster

hard to know... they are kinda pushy... so when I had them with my standard sized chickens they did fine.

I have bantam.... no side by side pictures though.. I don't have any standard Wyandottes

crazy awesome!!! I only have about 60 eggs cooking... I am pretty sure you have more than that!

I actually managed to get some nice ones from ebay eggs.

I would guess easter egger

the ones I got last year off of ebay are actually pretty good.... not awesome, but for low priced eggs very nice!

thanks @Clucksworth it was a general question, but also directed at you, since your birds are beautiful specimens as well as very fluffy. I just got BLR Wyandottes last year.. so this will be my first year breeding them, and I keep wondering how the fertility will be... sheesh... I...

with those very pretty fluffy birds you have.... do you find that you have to trim feathers for good fertility rates?

shipping eggs will not make them non-fertile, however it can mess them up so much that there is no growth. for example, if they were cooked or frozen enough that the fertilized spot is dead.

Of the two shipments of Wyandotte eggs I got last year, the one that wasn't packaged very well, was a horrid hatch rate. However, the perfectly packaged one, had a 75% hatch rate, and I live in Alaska. I have some very cute BLR bantams from those eggs.

Maybe a good mahogony red Wyandotte with a SL???

I think the new color was started in different ways..... I know some people think the GL x SL though producing a quicker result, is a bad way to go, since it is so difficult to get rid of the orange from the GL I can't remember what the other way to do it is.

Yes, the BLR are a new color... And because of that, many of them have a more golden base color, like what you find on a GL than the lovely more red color the BLR is supposed to have.

don't forget to post some pictures!
