Not at all, it's actually the same amount of time since a Back Cross to 55 Flowery is required anyways.

If you backcrossed a gold pullet from a silver ameraucana x 55 flowery back to a 55 flowery rooster, all the chicks would be gold duckwing. However, if you cross a chick from a BBS ameraucana x 55 flowery back to a 55 flowery, only half the chicks would be gold duckwing.

@nicalandia , how hard is it to breed lacing into another breed? I'm wanting to breed buff laced into my pheonixes, but rge breed with the lacing is absolutely nothing like the pheonix

It's not hard, due to the necessary genes being somewhat closely linked to each other so they don't segregate dependently. Required mutations are Pg/Pg-Ml/Ml and Co/Co, eb/eb (For Wyandotte) and Pg/Pg-Ml/Ml-Db/Db and Co/Co, ER/ER for Sebright/Polish.

The closest body type would be Polish, you just need to get rid of the crest and v-shape pea comb.

Pea in the Polish comb? I thought it was v-shaped duplex, with no pea involved. (So either it's a typo, or I'm learning something new.)

My laced bird is a sebright. She had mixed babies with my pheonix rooster and ended up with 1 that looks like it got 2 dominant white genes and 4 that look like they got just 1 gene. So my thought had been to cross that 2 gened chick to either a male or female pheonix (thought my Whites would be best since they're dominant white-ish) and reinforce the pheonix traits. But then I remembered lacing takes more than one gene to come out nice most times

Pictures of the parents and chicks.

Pictures of the parents and chicks.

The first chick image looks exactly like buff laced sebrights do as chicks, which is why I think it has 2 copies. The other 4 look like the second chick image.

Imput this on the Chicken Calculator.

Buff Sebrights are ER/ER, Pg/Pg, Ml/Ml, Db/Db, Co/Co, I/I, s+/s+ the rest are left as default.

The Phoenix seems to be goldend or very diluted Gold, so he is e+/e+, pg+/pg+, ml+/ml+, db+/db+, co+/co+, i+/i+, s+/s+


So the chick is ER/e+, Pg/pg+, Ml/ml+, Db/db+, Co/co+, I/i+(White), s+/s+
