Lacing/Mottling

[Amer]

two laced parents would be fully laced chicks and all of the above are being bred by the roo in the pics above the silver is a blue laced silver wyandotte/ss cross

Oh! I hadn’t realized he wasn’t full Wyandotte. The non-lacing gene will pop up in the next generation in 25 percent of the chicks.
Even though its not a mutation it’s still recessive so it will show up.

Ya this thread is getting confusing.
What are you calling splits?
Pure pattern laced with one mottling gene or laced/SS crosses?

if they are laced and split to mottling meaning one parent was mottled and one wasnt,though laced/ss would be the same thing they would be single copy laced and split to mottling

I'm asking what the birds youre asking about are.
I know the definitions.
Are you breeding pure patterned gold laced with one copy of mottling or gold laced Xs SS crosses.
I understand one is a cross but what are the others?

Full lacing on eb based birds requires homozygous Co, Pg, and Ml. Your SS/BLSW is probably heterozygous (split) for Pg and Ml, which is why it has incomplete lacing. If you breed it to another bird that is similarly split, you should see about 25% mottled birds. While technically possible to get a fully laced bird from such a breeding, most likely all will be heterozygous for Pg or Ml.

most likely all will be heterozygous for Pg or Ml.

I thought I read that Pg and Ml were linked. That would cause them to mostly be inherited together, so you would have a fairly good chance of getting some laced birds.

the silver? View attachment 2326513View attachment 2326514

Well, she isn't silver, but she is breathtaking.

Have you hatched chicks? How is this going?

I won't be hatching chicks until next spring as most are molting right now

She is silver. The red coloration is due to autosomal red, or non-sexlinked red/gold.

Also, gorgeous hen, @Poultrybonkers.
