The Kooky Kiwi
Crowing
The blue birds shown above are very pretty, but do not show the pattern gene. I don't know of any form of "lacing" that does not have Pattern, Melanotic, and Columbian in one form or another. Qualified exception that double lacing skips Columbian.
Lots of people would love to see a sebright laying blue eggs. It would be a lot easier to achieve by starting with a laced blue egg layer.
My memory says Keith Bramwell while at UARK had blue egg laying Andalusians about 10 years ago.
The comment about blue egg laying sebrights was a bit of a funny side note - not something I was seriously considering hehe.
But yeah - here in NZ we do not have the same quantity or quality of birds to start with so the truth is "any" project takes longer here.
