Is a Blue Laced Gold Wyandotte Actually a Thing?

[ButtonHoarder]

I've heard people talk about them as something that exists, but when I google pictures most of what I get is gold laced and blue laced red Wyandottes. So is this a real color? If so, I would love to see actual pics! Thanks!

It's a color only commercially available by Hoover's starting this year. It is blue laced red without a mahogany gene. It's not a recognized color

Not my pictures. Just ones I found on the internet:

Oh, ok.

Most hatchery blue laced reds are technically blue laced golds because they lack the mahogany gene. Here’s an example, notice how the color is the same as a GLW with blue added:

Here’s a website that talks about em: https://bluelacedgold.wordpress.com/the-variety-blg/

This is my Callie. She came with a mixed pick of chicks for my son’s laying flock, and as usual, the breed labels were off at TSC. I thought we had a Welsummer until all that beautiful lacing came in.

I’m posting (my one) pic of her in response to your post because she definitely is a Gold, but her lacing is darker on the head and breast and then softens along her body to a tuft of lovely gray (blue? Lavender?) tail feathers. Don’t know if that makes her a blue laced gold Wyandotte, but it seems to follow with the site above. I wasn’t looking for one..just got lucky, I guess. Her name was “Mystery Chick” for the first month or so.

The lighting in this pic doesn’t do her justice since she’s in the shade in front of a sunnier spot, but she sure is gorgeous. I’ll try to get a better shot of her today (like Wyandottes do, she’s NOT a lap chicken, so doesn’t model as readily as the others).

edited to add a couple more pics. Because Chick Pics.

Yeah, she’s a blue laced gold.
