The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

[MysteryChicken]

I have seen Laced Asils, I know it's quite hard to get a hold of them since they are very poor layers, they command very high prices. But they are the easiest way since you will be keeping the Oriental blood and type.

The second option would be Laced Wyandottes and just breed out the many unwanted traits while trying to keep the lacing. It's quite the Daunting Task.

Sebrights are too small. Standard Laced Polish have a crest but could work also.

I've seen a Laced Aseel in a picture for hatching eggs, but I know it won't be guaranteed I'd get one if I attempted to hatch.

Sir, I want to ask you, the blue layer from Asia and the blue layer from South America seem to work in different places. If they are double pure, will they make the eggs bluer. Has anyone tried this?

I am truly Speechless. That's the nicest thing anyone has gifted me. I truly Appreciated.

You're welcome.

All good

@MysteryChicken Sorry, I also forgot about Double Laced Cornish from a hatchery will likely be your best bet.

While they are not 100% Orientals, they have the size and correct comb shape.

Aren't those just a dark partridge pattern though?, or no?

Good day, While the Blue Egger from Asia and South America have different mutation(genetically mapped already), Surprisingly enough they are allelic mutations of each other. Both Caused by the same retrovirus insertion on the same allele but on a different but very close section of the allele, hence they are allelic to each other.

For example.

South American Oocyan mutation is O the wildtype is o+. The mutation found on Asia has not been officially designated a mutation. So I tentatively propose giving it the O^a

o+/o+ = no-blue eggs
O/o+ = Light/faded blue
O/O = Blue
O^a/o+ = Light/faded blue
O/O^a = Blue

Laced Cornish it is then. Hatchery stock will be fine.

I completely understand. Thank you so much！ It would be great if they were not at the same gene locus. Eggs will be bluer.

I agree, there is a recessive blue mutation from Quails called Celadon.

Quails are closely related to Chickens that perhaps the same recessive mutation will happen on chickens in the near future and we will have nicer colored eggs.
