still looks like it,so I guess it is half and half. That is okay,you don't have to own a buff,just like them!

Technically it would be a buff bird with white lacing. Look at the polish several posts up. The ground color is buff.

Buff Laced Polish are exactly what the color says, buff lace on a white bird.

Try breeding one to any color (other than silver) you'll get a white chicken with black spots. It's called ressive white.

No, look at these photos from Feathersite: first golden laced, then buff laced. Notice that the black lacing on the golden laced bird is replaced by a white lacing in the buff laced bird. This is by the addition of dominant white, which replaces (prevents) black pigment with white (lack of pigment).

From the Polish Breeders' website in describing the buff-laced variety: "Both [males and females] are golden buff with creamy white lace."


Also, recessive white is solid white. Dominant white can have black spotting; not recessive white.

Okay so I messed up the dominant and recessive white, but that is a white chicken underneath all that buff lacing. Pull the feathers back on one and see if it isn't white.

And also, Golden Laced Polish, that is a black chicken under the gold lacing.

The gold lacing was changed to buff (both being a form of red), the black on the Golden Laced was changed to white.

I know you know alot about chicken coloring, but I know that I am right on these.

From the standard for buff laced polish*:
"UNDERCOLOR: Pale buff in all sections.
PLUMAGE: A bright even shade of rich golden buff throughout the entire surface, with a sharp line of demarcation between the surface color and the creamy white lacing, free from brassiness, bronzing, mealiness and rustiness"

From the standard for golden laced:
"UNDERCOLOR: Slate in all sections.
Plumage: A bright even shade of golden bay throughout the entire surface, the golden bay to be of sufficient density to prevent underlying lacing from showing through the web of overlapping feathers, each feather laced with intense black, the black appearing upon the surface or exposed portion of the feather to have a rich, greenish sheen, keeping in mind that contrast is important."

So tell me where the white/black is underneath?


*the standard quoted is for buff laced polish, which are the breed that led to this discussion; there are slight variations in golden laced (in general) and golden laced for sebrights, but both have slate undercolour and very minor differences in lacing description.
