I have poorly typed AWESOME laced blues. They look like yours Swheat.

The first pic scared me a bit when I saw the brown/red hackle, but then scrolled to the 2nd pic and realized it was just the lighting!

From the pics, it looks like she has very nice definition/contrast in the lacing. I think offspring will be benefited by a well-typed roo. How old is she?

 

[swheat]

She is just over a year old. I have a nice roo I going to use with her to improve type and for nice cushion and more fluff...yeah I am going to do all that in one cross...LOL (I wish).

I'd love to put your hen's lacing on my Blue. BellaBlue is pretty well typed (I think), but could use more definition in the lacing, and the feather length of her primaries and secondaries needs to be more even. I originally got her to use in my BLR project, but then decided to use my Splash instead, so I haven't hatched anything from Bella (yet).

I agree the lacing and color of one with the shape and form of the other --that would be one beautiful bird for sure! (Of course I would be proud to own either one!)
Beautiful.

I like BellaBlue, she had nice type.

Thankyou so much

Want to know a secret? I bred my cochins up from hatchery hens and a decent typed roo.
