We had a flock of Gold Laced Wyandottes and one Splash Laced Red Wyandotte. We incubated some of their eggs and got a bunch of Gold Laced, one Blue Laced Red and the one I would like to know what people would call her. Is this what is called a Black Laced Red? They are 23 weeks old in these photos.
Sorry the photos aren’t the best, it’s an overcast day here.

In this photo you can see the Blue Laced Red on the left, two Gold Laced in the middle, and the one I don’t know on the right.

The following photos are just of the chicken in question. You can see her tail is ‘blue’, she has some ‘blue’ colouring on her sides and back, but not really any on her front. What would you call her?

She's a blue laced. Blue is a highly variable color and sometimes a very dark blue can appear black. But the blue gene dilutes all blue to black, it's genetically impossible to have a bird with both blue and black coloring. It would be theoretically possible if the bird is a chimera, but you would notice distinct areas of difference, it wouldn't be evenly distributed.
