Truth or not...blue birds

[Sonoran Silkies]

I'm still not sure I understand the difference in appearance.

Me either.

If you would compare...

Blue Laced Red Wyandotte

and

Blue Orpington, please...

Lacing = proper lacing
edging = blue prone lacing?

We might have been taking at cross purposes.

Lacing I was meaning as the proper crisp tidy lacing like blue Andalusians. Looks the same as a laced wyandotte.

Edging is what Sigi calls the darker effect that often happens on the edge of a blue feather but does not need Co, Pg-Ml. (or Pg-Ml if that does the same). Is that the same as blue prone lacing?

Also there would be the even blue which is required for blue wyandottes in the UK Standard (but I don't know if it is the same in the Netherlands Standard).​

Yes, edging and blue prone lacing (just made that up, don't even know what prone means exactly, I just like to make up words) is the same.

Have you ever noticed that in multiple laced with blue that each blue band is edged on both sides with a darker band?

Great thread. Very much enjoying all the info shared here.

I'm sorry names confuse me. Is multiple laced Pg or Pg-Ml?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Pg; no Ml in multiple laced.

Doesn't matter in this case...

Happens in both forms.

Happens in both forms.

How interesting. Thanks.
