Here's my go at the ideal Wyandotte head. Any faults or details I missed? I based it off of an old 1900s illustration. I am going to "revamp" it and make it more realistic and less "stale"/ dead looking. I'm also going to give it the silver laced Wyandotte coloration on its feathers.

Very well done..
 
ok genetic experts or SPW experts..... I was reading....first mistake right? haha. anyway they were talking about silver penciled and partridge splits and that you needed to breed those splits back to pure of the silver's and if you didn't youbwould just keep getting splits and partridge.....does that mean I am doomed since all my SPW are splits? I have yet to hatch what look like a pure silver all pullets have red leakage. the roos I have DONT have the cream or red but in reading that still does not mean they are not splits. Can I breed the partridge out if it can hide in the roos like that?

I sold my other roo because he was throwing lots of partriges. I also sold my other hens pullets for the amount of leakage since I had several young pullets with better silver growing out. my new roo is really silver no cream or red that I can see. do I just keep picking for the best silver to remove it????? HELP!!! this is really sounding like a bigger project than I can take on right now. I didn't know when I got them they were splits. this is sounding like a 5 year project pen and I don't do bantams ahahahahaha!!!!!!

I am no expert..I do know once its in a line ..its always in that line and can pop back out even if you breed it out for 5 years. I have had birds for 35 years and used to have dark cornish. I kept one pullet and went to white...I still have a dark cornish once in a while pop up.
