What Color Is This? Please Let It Be Laced!

[juliecox]

I bought a batch of eggs from a nice lady who is crossing Ameraucanas and Wyandottes, looking to get some laced Easter Eggers. The eggs were a lovely shade of green. She's a couple of generations into the project now. The rest of the chicks who hatched were black, but there is one who is possibly laced. Any thoughts as to the adult color? I'd love to have a laced Easter Egger!

i think its too early to tell

you can't always tell what a chick will look like as an adult by what it looks like before it feathers out...

this is especially true in a mixed breed.

Sure, I know that it's hard to tell, and likely to change as they get older. Just soliciting wild guesses for the fun of it.

So far, no - You don't have a laced chick from the looks of that image. It is best to show the top of its head/body too though. Golden laced birds should have a marbled type look to them, not black with yellow. Yours looks like it will have an entirely unknown type color.
