treefarmer, blue Wyandottes have been an accepted variety for a while. (The blue is laced "Andalusian" blue.) No idea on the violet, but I do know that finding blue Wyandottes is a challenge unto itself, as very few work with the color variety. Remember that the blue does not breed true, and you will get splash and black along with your blues.
 
I am looking for one or two good quality BLRW roosters of breeding age in or near Oklahoma. Would prefer blues but will consider black laced reds or splashes. Need two different colors to go with my two sets of hens. Please private message me if you have any for sale or know of someone who might.

I bought eggs once from eBay. Maybe see who is selling eggs on eBay, and ask if they have any adults.

Exactly, that is why brother to sister, blue to blue is important at this stage. In the females I can see who express the gene...
I started with 1 blue cockerel and a black lundgren/McCoy hen.
Rooster and pullet the project started with.

2nd cross Male from above parents. Carry's the red color enhancing. Bred to Silver Penciled clear of red gene.



Sorry no photo of the blue female...At this point I did not want to breed brother to sister because my thought was I would have some that were double laced which with the dark blue color it is hard to distinguish between double lacing and smut.as you can see from above this male does have the columbian gene but lacks even 1 gene for the lacing. This was confirmed by crossing the the above 2. If he would have been laced all the female get would be laced. They were not. Maybe I am wrong there and probably should have done more homework...I do not claim to be an expert only a mad scientist.
no pict of blue female
results kept 2 blue females that express the lacing and the columbian. Male, do not have a photo, he does not express the lacing but does the columbian. Potentially he could not even carry the lacing...That's the fun of this year...to see... either way there is not more outcrossing for awhile. I have fresh blood and good type at this point. The males are clear in the legs and show a nice dark yellow...



There is a ton of waste when doing projects but, nice thing is there are loads of people that like the pet females...Suggestions are always welcome :)

Just wanted to say that I've always loved your birds, and I seem to be several steps behind you. I'm still playing with chocolates (started with birds from J. Foley also) and just this year got some blues so I'll be playing with them also and also was told about the silver laced to blue to get nice lacing. Anyway, love your birds....are you still doing the bantams at all anymore? Don't see any on your website. :thumbsup
 
I'm curious about our wyandotte. He or she is 10 weeks old. What do you think? Boy or girl?
