What color is Blue? Who is her Mom?

[yickenscarf23]

This is Blue. Her dad was a Mille Fleur Bantam Cochin. Her mom was either a blue or a silver laced Wyandotte. More than likely the blue Wyandotte because I never saw the Silver Laced get any attention from the rooster. She has feathered feet. Any guesses as to what color she will be or is it a crapshoot at her age?

I'd go with the crap shoot. Should be interesting to see. The Times I crossed a laced Wyandotte I got Columbian color, but I did cross it with a Millie fluer.

I'm going with the silver laced is the mother and that she is indeed a pullet.

You can tell this young? What makes you think the Silver Laced?

I'm trying to learn a bit about colors myself but so far all I can tell is that she's cute lol

A blue bird would be extended black on the e loci.
Your MF rooster should be partridge but may be wild type. I've had both but either way the extended black would be dominate so if the blue was the mother the chick would be solid or almost solid black or blue.
Your silver laced is probably also partridge.
So her and the rooster would produce chicks with the chipmunk stripes.
Your rooster is gold based. The silver laced is silver based. Gold and silver are sex linked so a gold based rooster over a silver laced hen produces gold based females and silver/gold bases males which would appear silver based at hatch since silver is dominate over gold.
With all the brown tones your chick has it is gold based meaning its a pullet.

Wow thank you so much this is incredibly helpful.

Don't have an answer (or even a guess). But the chick sure is pretty.
