Are you wanting something more like a blue laced barnevelder with feathered legs?

no the webstervelder is planned to be a new future breed

They appear to have the same type as Langshans, but a bit shorter. Perhaps these colors could be introduced into the Langshan breed.

i might have to introduce langshan genetics to achieve my desired posture and tail for the webstervelder.

i was envisioning blue laced lavender or lavender laced blue if that would even be possible

I do not think that is possible. Blue is a dilution of black. Lavender is a different dilution of black. I'm pretty sure you can't make a black feather have one dilution around the edge and the other dilution in the middle, which is what you are describing.

Lacing in chickens is black on the edge of the feather, and gold in the middle of the feather. The black can be diluted to blue or chocolate or lavender, or it can be turned completely white, but it does not turn to red like your AI images show. The gold middle of the feather can be darkened to red, or diluted to a pale cream or yellow color, or turned to white (silver), but it does not turn black or blue or chocolate.

This makes it impossible to breed a chicken like the images you posted, with red lacing (edges) on blue feathers.

Blue Andalusian chickens do show laced feathers with two shades of blue (dark around the edges, light in the middle). That is the only kind of lacing I have seen in real chickens that violates the basic pattern of black lacing on red feathers (or variations of black and/or variations of gold.)
