The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

Hi nicalandia,
Do you know much about the blue laced red wyandotte colour genetics?
If I cross a black laced red cockeral with a splash laced red hen what colour would the offspring be?
I thought black to splash only produced 100% blue offspring...
I have a cockeral who is (I thought blue laced, but someone who has been breeding more intensively than me says he is black laced)...
I put him over a splash hen and she had splash chicks as well as either black or blue laced (they are too young to know for sure yet) does this mean he would be blue laced or are my colour genetics out?

Some blues are very dark charcoal and can look dark.

I don't know if it works the same way for laced varieties, but you can see in my avatar photo how dark the backs of the blue males can be.

I mean, I've got a blue laced hen that passed as a white laced hen for like 3 years, so I imagine the opposite is possible too

Hi - wondering if you have a thought as to what I can expect from crossing a lavender buff columbian Brahma roo with lavender partridge (isabel) Brahma hen - I know they will be lavender something but is the columbian gene dominant to partridge or vice versa..or will it be a certain ratio of each color? Tried to use the calculator but it is too advanced for me lol. Thanks!

I had a Blue Orpington male that his breeder was fully convinced was Black. The second she showed me a picture of him, I told her was blue. She had him with Blue hens and kept telling me he wasn't. Guess who hatched Splash chicks. lol

Columbian is dominant with one, or 2 copies.
Buff/gold partridge Columbian for example.

Blue-laced Red follow the same rules as any of the other Andalusian based blue birds.

He would have to be Blue.

Thankyou, yes that's what I thought

Yes he is very dark but I actually prefer that colour blue even if it isn't preferred in the show pen ... I will post a photo of him once he's finished moulting, he looks terrible at the moment

Please tag me. I have some deep-charcoal hens and pullets and I love them.
