If your goal is buff laced Wyandottes I would suggest putting your buff laced brahma roo on blue laced red Wyandotte hens as well as the reciprocal mating. I’d hatch a ton of eggs and only retain the yellow chicks with the least down fluff on the legs. Breed the best colored - most Wyandotte-esque birds - back to the BLR Wyandotte’s from the opposing pen. The struggle with buff laced coloration is that there is a midrange of color with pheomelanin that is the ideal - which unlike silver laced birds with which the goal is an absolute white and an absolute black combination. You want a nice even buff color distributed throughout the bird’s entire body as well as a nice even creamy white lacing throughout – which is very difficult. I suggest you cull any F1, F2, F3, etc. birds that have red shoulders or pale breasts. As homozygous dominant white tends to dilute pheomelanin and does not do a 100% job eliminating melanin I suggest using blue laced red Wyandottes in your pursuit of this new color variety of Wyandotte. Best of luck!
