Laced Faverolles

[LightedPrism]

So, I'm playing with the idea of starting a project of laced faverolles... what do others think? Or should I just do and keep track then share when?

Also, suggestions on genetics with birds? i don't know why I have such issues getting it through my head but I keep hoping I get it at some point. *sigh*

I suppose i should also mention plans so far.

Was thinking cross with Brahmas to keep the temperament, feathering, and add a bit of size. as well as the lovely lacing I've seen quite a few of. that's about where I'm at. beginning stages big time.

Yeah, brahmas have a similar type. There’s also standard cochins. Though make sure to get good quality ones for whatever breed you chose to introduce the lacing with.

So just know, a lot of Brahma have double lacing, not regular lacing patterns

i was starting to notice that! what got me thinking was the buff laced brahmas like from blue acres brahma. I was thinking they looked different than most laced. at least that I've been seeing

Im also thinking of getting the combs and wattles bigger. one bad thing about fav's is they don't tolerate heat well. theoretically with larger combs and wattles they would.

Out of curiosity, are you trying to get a laced variety into the standard, or are you just doing it for fun?

havent totally decided. i think i'd like to get it into the standard at some point, but also like to make the fav's more appealing to the GP
