Strange Sebright

[britesidefarm]

I have a 3 and a half week old Sebright that was supposedly a buff laced when it first hatched, but doesn’t seem to have any lacing. It’s father is a silver laced, and mother is a buff laced. Does this tend to happen when mixing the two colors, or is this a defect of some sort?

Yes, that is what would normally happen when crossing those two colors.

mother: white lacing on gold
father: black lacing on silver
chick: white lacing on silver (which of course looks white, although it's got a little bit of color leaking through here and there, because of some of the genes from the buff mother.)

For the lacing, white is dominant over black.
For the ground color, silver is dominant over gold (buff).
