I say Ramses tail set and body shape (viewed from above) does not conform to a dual purpose bird rather it conforms to egg layers. This is Mediterranean Class of bird trait. Not that of Austral bred to standard.
Keep in mind that Ramses will be the patriarch and all of the traits you like of him can be developed from the F1's. F1's will all be blue and black. There will be no criteria restriction excepting squirrel tail and side sprigs in your selection of a breeder to back cross to the dams. Hatch enough and you could have a Ramses II that carries the silver lace. See what I mean? Ramses the first is obsolete at that point and actually a determent to any progress in obtaining a silver laced flock.
