Need Genetics Help - Buff Laced Wyandottes

[Bleenie]

I gave some chicks to a friend earlier this year and yesterday she sent me a picture of one asking if it was a roo(it was). The little guy is one of my buff laced/buff chicks and is Beautiful! I told her i'd like to have him back since she was just gonna sell him so i swapped her for some hops rhizomes.

when i got there today to pick him up i could see his color better and his buff is MUCH better than his dads, comb is nice and legs are yellow. I checked his tail for lacing and it is laced but it's "backwards"... the inner color is white and lacing is buff.

What i need to know is, is he still any good for breeding or is it just going to much things up with his lacing being opposite what i want? I was hoping i could breed him back to his sisters or some GL girls but I think my plans might be shot now.

(I will try to load pics from my phone in a minute)

Once you get pics I could give a better answer. Generally once you have the dominant white lacing there, just breeding back to GL should give more buff laced in time

The problem is that he's laced with Buff instead of white, so it's got me a little confused! I guess if I can't keep him in the BL coop he will just hang with the egg layers, he's too pretty to get rid of & I have some of his sisters that are similar in coloring(white tail feathers).

See the lacing in his tail? totally backwards!

This bird would qualify as a white tailed buff. What you see is not "genetically" laced, just pretty

Maybe I will just keep him with his sisters and see what comes of it. A couple of them also have the white in the tails but no lacing. I'm still excited to see how he grows, I didn't keep any buff boys this year but all the girls are much better compared to their dad. Maybe I can use them for a different project later
