10 + wyandotte eggs white over white and blue laced reds

[hoppy]

I used this calculator
http://home.kpn.nl/h.meijers69/kruising.html

using recessive white (male based on silver laced over splash blr hens) I got
blue patterned redshouldered/cream laced hens
blue patterned yellow/golden laced roosters
-----------------
using dominate white I got
white patterned redshouldered/cream laced hens
white patterned yellow/golden laced roosters


you also will get some pure whites as one hen is white.

Oooo sounds lovely either way. I really need strong type to add to my blue flock. So I am very interested in the eggs.

Hmmmm Nava, Nava? Did we not have a go for eggs before?

Name seems so familiar.

oops, guess I shouldn't say that. I don't know why you would think Nava's name is familiar

which "white" did you use? dominate white or recessive white? using dom and then trying recessive, I didn't get what you got.
all hens are splash blr and I don't know if the rooster is dominate white or recessive white but I was told he has silver laced in his backround.

I am using the white to improve on the type (that and I lost my blr roo to a weasel)

I haven't tested to see what you will actually get. This calculator is based more on theory, I believe. I used just plain white for the above. If I change it to dominant white, then all the offspring turn out to be white. For recessive white, I got this:
25% Pullets, blue unicolor
25% Pullets, black unicolor
25% Cockerels, blue unicolor
25% Cockerels, black unicolor

It is probably going to be different since there is not an option for SLR or BLR.

White Wyandottes are Recessive White, not Dom white, and then you would have to know what they are masking under them. I think mine from Pauls Poultry should be masking barring as I also have a barred roo that came with that batch. But Silver Laced I belive is another common color for them to be masking. So you would have to breed and see.

By the way one the calculator, if by chance you did know what he was masking, instead of clicking Recessive White, you would click the color that is being masked, and then change the genetic codes to give it two copies of Rec. White.

Yeah she gave me a hard time over some BLRW eggs from bishop.

Oh well, I am learning. Got me a new Brinsea and tossed out that LG bator (well it really just got kicked to the garage)
Ah well, I will be lurking about.
