Blue Laced Red Wyandotte genetics

[ChunkyBirb]

I just ordered some BLRW eggs from eBay. The seller said that the hens were mostly splash and the rooster was a black. What does all this mean about the chicks that will come out of the eggs? I just need an explanation on their genetics because I’m new to this breed.

Splash laced red x black laced red gives you 100% blue laced red chicks.

Blue laced red x blue laced red gives you 50% blue laced red chicks.

Splash laced red x black laced red gives you 100% blue laced red chicks.

Blue laced red x blue laced red gives you 50% blue laced red chicks.

So what do you breed the blue laced reds with to get 100% blue laced reds? Also is having the rooster or hen be a certain type (black, splash, blue laced red, etc) important in the outcome?

Which is the rooster and which is the hen does not matter. Blue laced red will always produce 50% blue offspring no matter what it’s bred with.

This chart is handy for explaining it.
