What does a self laced chicken look like?

I am wondering what a self laced chicken looks like. Thank you.

"Self" means it's the same color all over.

In chickens, "blue" usually looks laced (black edges on gray feathers.) If you breed two blues, you get some chicks that are splash (white or light gray, with darker blotches.)

But "self blue" is a solid gray shade all over. It's caused by a different gene, and it's also called lavender. The lavender gene (which causes "self blue") is a simple recessive gene, so crossing two lavender chickens gives more lavender chickens.

I don't know why someone would be talking about "self white" chickens, but they would be white all over. There are several different genes that can cause white in chickens, so they might be trying to tell which gene is involved, but it's not a term I'm used to seeing with the color white.

I found this from a different form but it's about your question. Hope it helps
