Lacing/Mottling

[Poultrybonkers]

what would chicks look like if you have a laced bird split to mottled bred to a laced split to mottled bird? would you still see the mottling? is there a name for it?

If they're true laced birds 25% of them would be mottled. So you'd get 75% that looked laced and 25% that looked laced with mottling.
Would it show? Sure but IDK how well since you didn't say what type of laced birds.
Something like GL would show it well. Something like SL not as much.

25 percent would be mottled. All would be laced, though it might be incomplete like your hen.
Tolbunt is mottled and laced, so it might look something like this:

(Not my pic.)
The mottling and lacing might be harder to see on silvers.
I don’t know what you’re breeding that hen to, but if to a gold or red male, you’d get golden males and gold females. The lacing will have more clarity, but 25 percent won’t have it at all.
(The hen is a Silver Laced Wyandotte Sussex cross, correct?)
