Wyandotte Experts - please advise! (pics inside) Splash or Blue Silver Laced??

[thistlewick]

I have been told this is a Splash Wyandotte

I have been told this is a Blue Silver Laced Wyandotte

Can I get some more expert eyes on him to give me some clarity please? This is Heath, he is almost 11 weeks old

Here he is a bit younger, but you can see his comb well - I think it's a Walnut comb? Which means he isn't pure correct?

I'm pretty sure he's not blue-laced...... @Noraaaaa

The lady who told me he was not Splash was a breeder of Blue Laced Red Wyandottes

I wanted some of her pullets to put him over to make pretty Splash/Blue Laced Red Wyandottes

Do you think she tried to talk me out of it so I wasn't horning in on her breeding?! I never, ever, ever think people are trying to be selfish or nasty initially, I'm always willing to give people grace - but it just occurred to me, she absolutely was telling me not to 'waste my time' and that he'd 'dilute the red'

Was she being truthful?

Okay so reading some Wyandotte websites there is only Blue and Blue Laced

I don't really see any lacing??

So he's likely the Blue ?

He's not laced, he's solid blue. Could be splash. I don't think she's trying to keep you from competing, she's right that breeding him to a blue laced red isn't going to result in the laced chicks you're looking for.

Yeah I put in his possibles in a calculator and got these results

It's weird but I have a better chance at getting splash laced red with my splash EE w/wild partridge /red

But it says the lacing won't be great:
