It has splash coloring, if that's what you're asking.
They are beautiful. I love Wyandotte and EEs and was thinking about mixing them. I have a blr roo and 8 new EE straight run chicks plus a few older EEs.
My Blue Laced Silver project are from the breeding formula I was given from breeders of the color in England. We are on generation five now.
Formula:
1: Silver Laced rooster bred to splash Blue Laced Red hens ( I used mostly Union Hill lines and Foley splash BLRW hens).
2: Take resulting hens from above cross and breed back to a Silver Laced rooster to "lockout" the red as much as you can.
3: You will get SLW and BLSW birds from this cross. Cull all blue birds from program with red leakage, and those who appear straight silver laced. (note 75% are cut minimum ) Keep all best blues with the best lacing and conformation.
4: Breed your best blues together to get what I have now which is an even mix of blue, black and splash Blue Laced Silver Wyandottes.
5: Generation five is now hatching mostly blues in initial appearance (most recent hatch looks to be 30 blues, 8 splashes and 6 blacks) when my 4th generation was bred together. My oldest, as pictured above are from 12/1/16 hatch.
I will now be starting a new pen from step one to breed into my line eventually for genetic diversity. Searching for a perfect SLW roo if anyone is willing to part with one!
NOTE: I do have chicks and eggs available in limited quantity. Comments and recommendations always welcome as I am just a hobby breeder trying my best. Not an expert by any means! I am very happy with the results so far though![]()

So jealous! We got 6 blr a couple months ago and got 3 blue and 3 black. No splash which I really like and lost my 3 black/red to a bad bag of feed unfortunately. My blue roo made it as well as a silver and gold. Defiantly going to get more. Hopefully some of every color lol. Still trying to understand the genetics for them. Like what the % of colors I'd get from my gold with blue.We had way too many in 2015, so I decided to just concentrate on three. We sold off everything except the Mottled Breda, the Basque Hen and the project Blue Laced Silvers. I keep a small group of Blue Laced Reds in splash going as well to add fresh genes back into my BLS group as needed. We are currently working on a Basque blend project and another new color for Wyandottes. We will see how it goes with that one. I think I am at least another 4 generations out before I would even be willing to say it is presentable. Oh, we also have a little group of Bantam Old English Games running about. They are very hardy and self sufficient and great little bug huntersBelow are a few of my favorites in the foundation birds to the current group.. PS: Thank You !
