Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

[flockofbantams]

I'm curious, what would you say is the average age that a BLRW hen will begin to lay eggs and for how long?

Both my blrw hens did not lay till 8 months

Quick question.

What is the proper term for a splash BLRW?

Is it splash laced red or

Splash blue laced red?

In the UK we just call them splash laced wyandottes, however we also just call our blues, blue laced wyandottes instead of blue laced red wyandottes!

I would imagine they would be called "splashed laced red" - given that they are splash and not blue so wouldn't really suit the " splash blue laced red" name you have propsed

I think your British terms are easir or simpler too! Lol

[COLOR=333333]mzstre the picture you posted[/COLOR] is this a splash ?or a blue ? this is what this youngster is same as your rooster ?

Looks blue to me, Splash would be a tad lighter

I agree that your cockerel is blue. My splash birds are very obvious, usually white or a very pale blue without consistent coloring (speckling and variation throughout the blues).

They are always BLRW which come in splash(white to near white), blue(light to dark) and black. so a splash BLRW. 

Ok so what I'm I'm understanding is no matter splash black or blue you still call them BLRW and just add with splash or blback to the front of BLRW depending on witch you have.

Hi Everyone , So glad i found this thread I am confused about colors in the BLRW new to this breed.Here are some pics can someone help me out? I posted above each pic what I think they are thoughts please This pic I think from left to right male black laced and a male Blue laced in the middle This pic Female Blue laced red This Pic black laced This pic male blue laced this male splash [COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR]

I agree with you, the first hen is a little light , but I would still say blrw and the black is showing incomplete lacing as they often do. Perhaps some more pics in different lighting help.

Thank you so much Viola! I will keep an eye out for them. And keep my fingers crossed that one might be a female (even though it probably isn't so) :/

Thanks everyone for the help on colors so now I can sell my 2 blue roosters and keep my splash and my black

I ordered three BLRW chicks from MMM. All three look identical to this chick. Any ideas as to what they will look like as adults? If I understand correctly they might not actually be blue?
