Yes, please.Pictures from your birds with that extended lacing.
That isn't entirely true. I did produce two hens that had very faint, slight lacing in my F1 birds. She was produced from crossing a Silver-laced Orpington cock over Blue Orpington hen.
Interesting. It would be great to see that if it shows up.
You might look at Javas. They aren't laced, but I had really good luck with them in the Texas heat back in the mid-2000s.
I had two and still have one because I couldn't in good conscience sell a serial broody who bites to draw blood when defending her nest to a family with young children who were buying their first chickens.
She's a decent, healthy bird and a good flock citizen, but I like the Australorps better.
A good example of partial-ish lacing, but not one that should be used for breeding F2s.
Why not? Surely a bird who shows some lacing would be better to use than one with no lacing at all.
