I don't know what this breed is called in English or if it is available in other countries but this breed is called papahænur or papahens her in Iceland.
they where brought to Iceland many years ago when some mungs came to Iceland and took this breed with them, that's why there called papahænur because papa is a one world that used for mung in iceland, so papa means mung
this is not the Icelandic hen, the Icelandic hen came with the viking but papahens came with mungs, but it is believed tho that the papa hen has mixed a little bit with the Icelandic hen tho.
but this color that my hens are in are not available in the Icelandic hen but the papahens often has this beautiful color (gold laced) and also sometime have the color silver laced.
I was think of getting some silver laced hens as well but how is it, can I mate this rooster that is gold laced with silver laced hens?
or would the outcome be silver roosters and gold hens? or would be any possibility that it would be 50/50 % chance that the be silver laced like the hen? or would I need a silver laced rooster to, to keep owning this color?
