Post here if you are trying to create a new Wyandotte color

[yoker]

Lets see what everyone is trying to create.
I am trying to create Buff laced Wyandotte and Buff Columbian wyandottes.
Please post pics

I have a recent pic of some of the dunlaced we made, I will post it later tonight.

I hatched a single Silver Laced Wyandotte. Looks like a roo. I was going to cross him on a lavender orp to see if I could make a lavender laced chicken. Depending which way seems to want to dominate, I would breed that way, either Lavender Laced Orps or Lavender Laced Wyandottes. Or both, what the hay?

I have thought the same thing and have a huge breeding plan wrote down, it was one of those projects that came to me in my sleep so I woke up and wrote it down. I also posted it on the-coop, the title is lavender laced, I am moo there.

Another color I want to create in wyandottes, well colors/patterns is double laced like barnvelders. I think that is also covered at the-coop. I think I would create double laced silver first because its a color I love then double laced gold like barnvelders. Once I get the golds I would work on solid lavender just to make it easier when I go to make lavender laced. I might work on lavender laced and lavender double laced at the same time, I would like it in gold first. Once I get double laced or even single laced with lavender I would work on lavender partridge and lavender silver pencilled. After that I would make lavender columbian then lavender buff columbian. All those colors can be helpful to eachother and used in the others. Then after that...LOL...I would work on creles, once I got creles I would breed those to the solid lavenders and make lavender crele.

I have it all planned out. I know exactly what breeds I would use, what colors to use, all that. My mind is always busy with birds, lol.

This is Coco, he is the father to all the laced birds we have.

Here is the second generation cock (Coco's son), he is the father to the dunlaced pictured below.

And here are some of the dunlaced we had on eggbid, a khaki laced cockerel and 2 dun laced pullets, one dark and one light

Dun laced... cool!
You don't by any chance have any single combed wyandottes hanging out do you? The lady I got my eggs from that the one roo hatched from had a single combed hen. She was selling her eggs for $4/dozen and I offered her $1/egg if she would just pull that hen aside for a week or so, or drop some food coloring into her vent to stain the eggs, but I never heard back from her. She thought I was nuts for offering that money so she didn't answer me. To me an extra few bucks to KNOW that every chick hatched carried single comb would be worth probably twenty bucks an egg in saved feed and labor costs, but people that don't fiddle with genetics don't get it. You got a LOT of projects on your plate there with the laced wyandottes! I plan to keep it simple, work only on lavender single laced. I would love to get some lavender laced orps going too. I think they would just ROCK!!! Like a cloud with a silver lining... like the sun breaking through the clouds after a rainstorm... like... well... anyhow, I think they would be really REALLY pretty and delicate looking. I'm going for it!

We have never had a single comb show up before, I think when we had LF BLRW's we got a single comb but none in the bantams. When we had the solid duns I wanted a single combed bird so bad so I could use it with other breeds like cochin and other breeds.

In making violet laced wyandottes,after created would the color breed true or would it be like breeding blue laced. Mike

The violet laced birds in the UK are just blue laced silver so it would be just like the blue gene. A quick way to do it is to cross a SLW cock on BLR hens and only keep the blue laced silver pullets then breed those to another SLW cock and go from there.
