Buff Laced Silkie/Satin Project

[Silkies4everr]

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).

Some of the birds I have to work with here. Old photos since these gals are currently in desperate need of a bath. Debating options right now for laced/penciled chickens to introduce.

The place I was originally going to get birds from doesn't have any at the moment, but there are people nearby who are selling some laced and penciled birds (not silkies or satins) so I'm looking at my options, trying to pick ones with a rose or pea comb so they're somewhat more compatible with my silkies.

I think the easiest option at the moment would be wyandottes since they usually have a rose comb, many laced variations, and are a common breed. I know I'll have to selectively breed for all the silkie traits like dark skin and cushion tails though. I would use cochins since they share more traits with silkies, but I don't want to deal with single combs.

I'll update if I get any birds for the project.
