Okay so I've decided to go down a painful path and breed buff laced silkies and satins because I love the color. I had buff laced polishes a long time ago but they're so fragile. So to my current understanding, it is simply a gold laced with dominant white gene. And to my current understanding based off a genetic calculator, gold laced is buff birchen with a double pattern gene and double melanotic.

Anyways, I'm planning on getting gold laced satins (and maybe silver laced satins for a different project) at some point to add the lacing into the project.

What would be the quickest way to breed the color (ignoring quality for the moment)? I have two black paint hens I could get dominant white from, so I was thinking I could breed them and keep a paint/white roo. Then breed that roo to the gold laced hens, which would (hopefully) result in some penciled chicks with white. Then somehow breed those together until a buff or at least a black-tailed buff laced/penciled appeared (can't remember all the genetics for buff).

Would getting a buff roo and/or some buff hens help much? I have a frizzled black-tailed buff hen, but I'd prefer completely buff colors (although I wouldn't mind the black being turned to blue).
