Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

[Overoberyl]

This is starting to seem like the black copper maran forum. Blrw is a cross until its been around for long enough to truly breed true.

Not sure I understand what you mean, how does it not breed true?

it does breed true... as true as blue is able to (blue/black/splash lacing on a deep red background). but it's a project variety still, and not accepted by the APA yet. so we're working on perfecting type, markings and the intensity of the dark mahogany red.

as with any breed you're going to have good and bad variations, even if it's an old established breed. look at the buff orpington. it's been around forever, but you're going to find some that are true to the SOP and some that resemble anything from a clean legged standard cochin to a single combed wyandotte... it depends on so many things. like if it came from a hatchery or breeder, the breeder's interpretation of the SOP, and so many more variables.

the goal of this thread (IMO) is to help people recognize what it SHOULD be, and to have enough dedicated breeders working toward that same singular goal, so that eventually the standard can be submitted to the APA and have it recognized.

Cute chicks. What were the other breeds? BLRWs should have a chipmunk look.

Any interest in a BLRW cockerel that needs a new home?
He's not from hatchery stock, purchased from a breeder in San Diego. At 5 months old, he's been free-ranged with the rest of the flock, and shares the hen house with two other roosters. This cockerel is surprisingly athletic when the dominant rooster notices he's courting the hens =) He gets along fine with people and pays attention for treats.
We're in SoCal, would consider meeting someone for delivery.
I can't seem to upload photos to this post or buy/sell/trade...if anyone wants to see one, please PM.

They are Splash colored-they won't get that "chipmunk " pattern. Not even all BLR will get it, depends on the breeding/lines.

Mine all get the chipmunk pattern, even the splashes. It's pale on them but its there. We have all Foley birds.
