She looks laced but....can a chicken have buff lacing? I've heard of buff with white lacing but not the other way around. I thought only eumelanin could lace?
My first thought was buff with dominant white of some sort, but I'm no expert
One thing's for sure, she's so pretty and adorable! I want her!
Buff laced is the variety term for a buff bird with dom white lacing, yes. The eumelanin in this instance is diluted yo white by dominant white, which (unlike recessive white) allows pheomelanin to express.
So best option would be buff unicolour and/or dom white??
I could recognize buff unicolour easily, but am not so sure about dom white. How can I recognize dom white apart from recessive white?
Your best option would be a buff Colombian, showing black on the neck and tail. A unicolour Buff has a lot of eumelanin restrictors, which will inhibit lacing. White is also unsuitable as we are breeding for a laced bird; dominant white will pass to half the offspring regardless, so we don't need to breed it in. As I say above, your silver Colombians will work, but will take more effort than a buff Colombian.
I honestly am not sure whether I could find a buff columbian here.... So, I would give it a try.
Thank you.
