Blue


Splash (typically almost white laced)

also splash will have different shades of blue or black in the tail, neck or wing area.
I have seen some darkish splash, but with black tail feathers.

Also the blue in the pic is dark, there is different shades and still be blue if it is even color.


And Donna, WOW. He is gorgous

And just because he was looking SO handsome this afternoon, "Rodgers Son"... yet to be named. He's Buff x Buff Laced, thet's why the lacing is showing in his tail. His coloring is about a million times better than his parents though. He's also shorter with a better tail than his papa.

all I have are white & you are all making me JEALOUS with all these colors!!!!

I may have to check out the Verizon plan. This is like having dialup...Thanks for the tip!If you are going to have every flavor how many varieties would that be? hmm everyome help me here. 18 (9x2) recognized colors by the APA. LOL Each variety having a male and female line...plus BLR, Barred, chocolate...

Well maybe I spoke a little expeditiously! But wyandottes are so addicting! Oh well my husband would like me to stay at just the 3 colors.

Anyone on the colour of George? I don't know what how you name the colour this brave man was.

I would say George was a splash out of splash parents. Although in the photo its kinda hard to tell but his red mahogany looks to be nice and dark.

I don't show so am looking to work toward the SOP and maintain a nice looking healthy flock.

Is this the pair that you plucked the feathers to help breeding? How many did you set?
