Is this a blue laced wyandotte?

[Kathryn173]

I bought some eggs online, and all went well with hatching, but I seem to have 3 different types of birds. it was supposed to be silver and gold laced Wyandotte bantams, but some of the gold seem to be a blue colour where they should be black and are also a lot darker (more red) where the gold should be. the pics don't really show it up too well but the second pic is of a very grey looking bird, they also seem to have some barring in the blue.
Although some of them seem fine, the third pic is a better bird.
I have never had any of my own gold laced look like this and I don't keep blue.
Is this a blue laced or a very bad strain of gold?



blue?

gold



Thanks...=]

Top bird does look like a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. The bird beneath it is a Silver Laced Wyandotte, and the one on the right side is a Golden Laced Wyandotte.

Your correct on 1 and 3 but 2 looks like someone might have jumped the fence!

I know the gold and silver, I just put them up to show how grey the second pic is. What I want to know is, is the second pic a blue laced wyandotte, or does the barring suggest it is something else crossed with a gold. It hatched from an egg that was supposed to be gold.

Not the best pictures, but this is my blue laced

I agree. That appears to be barring = fence jumper

I just got a message from the seller saying
gold laced , blue laced and buff laced all come from the same gene pool so even tho you they are pure gold laced they should give you 50% gold then 25% blue laced and 25% buff laced
But surely they would need to have blue and buff breeding to do this and therefore arnt pure golds.

 

[Griffinsong]

The seller is right but used confusing terminology.
He probably breeds blue laced gold to blue laced gold, which gives 50% blue laced gold [what he called 'blue laced'], 25% black laced gold [he called it 'black laced'] and 25% splash laced gold [he called it 'buff laced'] All of these are on a gold [buff] base, the only difference is the blue gene, which turns black to blue[1 gene] or splash[2 genes, almost white, pale blue-gray with some darker blue speckles.].

Thanks for explaining that, very helpful. Although he's still claiming they're pure gold laced with no blue breeding at all.
Sorry for the late reply.
