Thanks, yep I love to work genetic to make new colored birds, glad you liked them....working on tons more too

yes black to anything will pretty much be all black. If you continue to cross those back to the laced eventually you will get back to laced, but will take years and a ton of black culling. Black pretty much cancels out other colors and patterns, except blue, dun and dominate white

What color is dun? I've been trying to figure out for a long time.

Even though this topic is a year old or so I thought Id chime in. Way back when I made the dun laced wyandottes we crossed a silver laced rooster on solid dun hens and got solid hens with some white leaking in the hackle and roosters that were mostly solid with white in the hackle/saddle/wing. When we bred those back to silver laced we got about 75% laced birds

dun is commonly called chocolate, even though the two are totally different genes.
a dun bird is just like a blue bird, it geneerally is brown in color, or replaces black on a petterned bird with brown. But like blue it cal vary in it's shades, can go from smokey grey to chocolate to a dull near black look.
Also like blue it has a splash (sport) version too called khaki. this is a bird who got 2 copies of the dun gene, just like a blue splash has 2 copies of blue.

yep with that breeding that sounds about right as all your F1 should have been carring a laced gene so when bred back to another laced bird most would have been laced or incomplete laced , the non laced should have been splits too I would think. Started my own laced projects and I have had similar results breeding laced into my d'anvers and phoenix this year. Got several broken laced birds right off the first cross, BUT I was using millie fluer and not a solid to start which lets you get there a bit quicker.

 

[sjarvis00]

have you considered using a birchen based black rather than extended black? I believe that will change the outcome of the cross.

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

yep it should, if they were birchen or duck wing based that would make a world of difference in what could be produced

What happens if you cross a silver laced with a white? For example, a sliver laced polish with an all white polish?
