Impossible colors and patterns

its ok... I'll try to explain it.... Birchen(ER) is the only gene I know of that can produce this type of lacing, is a rudimentary lacing, the gold or white color is because the bird is based on Gold or Silver, Mahogany can enhance this color also.. let me see if I can find more pics...

so if you put a brown red cockbird over a dominant white hen and selected for the lacing? Lol, probably not right...

here some words from Tim about below pic of an exceptionaly white laced bird(would be red or golden if based on Gold s+ background)

only if the Dominant white hen is Gold Birchen based.. if not then expect to do a Backcross to the Brown parent...

I can understand that. That silver laced bird is awesome.

you could have One that is Blue but with White Splotches too...

That has its attractions- possibly not for Silver Spangled base, though, I'd think. There are Blue Hamburgs, although I'm not sure there are Blue Hamburgs in North America- not that I've made a comprehensive search. This whole set of questions is what I do when I'm too tired to be outside fighting the result of a long, cold, rainy spring. I'm pretty much gathering information to answer the question "what's next?" What's the breeding path which would result in a speckled blue?

well they will have to be based on recessive mottling... not spangling...

Exactly- say one started with a theorhetically perfect BBS parent, Andalusion Blue (a Socratic Ideal chicken- not a Hamburg, just a blue of some undifferentiated breed where we're not looking at egg color nor comb form for the moment): where does one go to find recessive mottling? Is that Ancona?
