How do the cochins silver laced look like in the US?
I have them for several years. I once began with a wyandotte silver laced male. After 5 years I have the females in my earlier replys. They are beautiful but the males don't "dive" enough, they stand up to straight. The females are really good and ready for recognation I think.
To improve the diving I got a orpington silver laced male and put it against my best females. The offspring (only 5) all had the short white feet from the orpington and with only a litte bit of footfeathering. But these mutants did heritate the typical shape of the orpington. I kept two of them a male and a female and they are now against my best cochins silver laced again.
This mutant male was the best of the 5 young ones I bred. He even has lacing on his wing.
A mutant female with good lacing

Bart here are some pics of my SLC
Also nice birds, nice finaly some silver laced birds here. Till now I saw only the golden laced.
Maybe they could be a little bit bigger and they could dive al little more, I have the same problem here escpecially with the males. They are to high on the front.
That is way I used this barred male. There are now 15 eggs of them in my incubator. Curious what will come of them.
Here is an old male from me, also a bit high and too small
