Need color help

[Old McRonald]

Going to pick up a gold laced bantam cochin rooster and have my choice of a partridge, white or red hen to pair with him. I'm thinking the partridge is my best chance of producing the nicest colored offspring. Would like to get more gold laced if possible, what would red or white hens produce with this rooster? Not having much luck with the online calculators giving me any results.

Partridge it's your best bet as in Laced is based on partridge but with the Pattern gene, Columbia and Melanotic. but even that cross will not result on much lacing since those genes will be in heterozygous.

Self Red(as in completely Red) have Columbian and Other genes(Mahogany and perhaps Db) that you don't want on your lacing project.

Whites are recessive in nature and will hide other pattern but are mostly partridge but you will never know

Definitely go with the Partridge. Laced Cochins only have two genes, columbian and melanotic, that Partridge Cochins don't have. You need three genes, columbian, melanotic, and the pattern gene to get the lacing, Partridge Cochins have the pattern gene already, it's what gives them their multi-laced pattern.

x2, partridge.

Thanks for the replies and confirmation, partridge it is.
