The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

Self buff (solid buff) still has the genes for black, which is why crossing blue with buff will produce both black and blue offspring. Blue itself does not breed true; blue x blue makes only 50% blue chicks.

gotcha. this stuff is kind of complex, so I am gathering I need to think of BBS as a color and not just blue. Is there a way to control how much buff vs how much BBS, and also the location of what feathers are buff vs what ones are blue?

You can't get around the Chicken Calculator Yet?

This is what you need to input for them..

I don't see an option for changing the color though for the sebright. Just gold laced, which isn't what I'm wanting

Buff Laced and Gold Laced are the same, just need to chance the i+/i+ to I/I(Dominant White) otherwise it's the same

What would be the best way to create a blue or white laced red leghorn?

Okay, thanks

That is a difficult one because all of the known Blue/Splash Laced Red breeds are dual purpose.

What about white laced red Cornish? Are they not a good choice? Just curious

Completely different body type

Yeah I suppose that’s true. Just thinking the coloring, but they are very different!

For white lacing (not blue or splash), maybe start with Buff Laced Polish or Buff Laced Sebrights, and interbreed them with Leghorns.
