Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

Noticed one of my BLRW feathers is black laced .. Lol the rest are blue...interesting... Someone joked that it's a birthmark. Lol she's a pet so I'm not to concerned but is this considered a fault or will it go away when she molts ... Has anyone seen this before ?

Blue is a leaky gene so darker feathers are not uncommon.
 
Today was beautiful and I was excited to be able to spend a bit of time with the birds. I rotate pens for free ranging and my mixed layer flock was out and about today. I have a few BLRW pullets that I'm assessing for breeding in with them temporarily. I hatched the Wyandotte on the left from eggs I bought locally and I hatched the pullet on the right from stock I bought directly from Jerry Foley. I know it's a poor quality pic, but I thought it was a good illustration to show the difference between layer and breeding quality.

I love the antics of dust bathing!

I'm working on getting better pictures to show type. From what I have learned I think this one's tail angle needs to be a little higher, right? She is 5 months old so I know she might still change quite a bit but can anyone tell if she is on the right track? She is rounder than my golden girls who are a month older than her.

I'm very fond of Wyandottes in general, but the Silver and BLR's are my favorites. I have 2 BLRW's and they are beautiful, hearty birds. They tend to stay out of trouble when they free range too!
 
Sorry, I'm bad with touch screens. Here are the rest of the picsi meant to attach as well.





I'm honestly not sure, I hope someone more experienced can help you :-)

do you read the Wyandotte thread? someone just re-posted photos of some beautiful salmon laced wyandottes from 2012, I have never seen this color before but they have good type:
