Blue laced silver with gold(red) leakage. Looks like the double lacing from the rooster is causing a lot of "mossiness" in the background color of her feathers.
Splash laced red (gold with the mahogany gene)x (black) double laced silver will give 100% blue laced silver chicks.
Blue is a dilution of black, one copy turns all black pigment to blue and two copies dilutes it further to splash. Since your splash laced hen has two copies of the blue gene, she passed one copy to each of her chicks, making all of them blue.
Silver is dominant over gold, it turns all of the gold pigment to white. Red and buff are the gold gene with additional modifying genes that change the shade of gold to darker(red) or lighter(buff or lemon). In chickens, a single copy of a dominant gene like silver, black, or white usually allows a little bit of the non-dominant color to "leak" through. So silver chicks from a silver/gold mating will not be completely white on the "silver" parts of their feathers like chicks from a silver/silver mating would be.
Looks like the double lacing causes the chicks to have a less crisp pattern, not double laced but more patterned/less clean than single laced.
Hi all, this is a little pullet I hatched out from my Double laced Silver Barnevelder and My splash laced red wyandotte hen, I'm curious as to what genetics are at play.
