Blue laced red wyandotte crossbreeding; lacing

[shaw613]

I ended up keeping a blue laced red wyandotte crossbreed rooster that has really nice form and coloring, but not much lacing at the breast. If I were to breed him to my black and splash hens (full blood), what would I expect in more correctly laced chicks? I understand the bbs breeding; just not sure how lacing would turn out on a 3/4 laced crossing. I 'think' the rooster is from a black laced hen x a splash birchen marans rooster. Thanks

Or is he worth keeping?

He could have laced offspring. However, the offspring wouldn’t be pure wyandotte yet.

Thanks .... what I thought. I'm still on the fence about keeping him. Not a fan of his personality and I do have a LOT of purebreed roosters.

It's not worth keeping. The odds of a complete laced red bird from offspring would be 1 in 32 hatched. Then you're still struggling with the skin color.

Thanks Egghead . He's in the freezer due to his lack of a charming personality as well
