What you have on your birds is not spangling but the results of a bird not having the correct combination of genes for lacing. This false spangling is caused when a bird carries a gene for melanotic and one gene for pattern.

Thanks Tim, thus the quotation marks. I figured it would not behave genetically as true spangling, but in appearance it does resemble the pattern. I thought it was pretty, whatever it was.

I assume you would have to breed back to a laced bird to complete the gene combination for full lacing, or could you breed to another partially laced bird?

Yes you would have to back cross to a laced breed.

What color Eggs do these lay???

I have some laced Easter Eggers...

Wondering if that's what I have

This one has gotten more lacing as she has matured... don't have any recent pictures. They are crosses fromm EE's and a Gold laced Wyandotte roo
