Can anyone give me the perfect "recipe" to breed Blue Laced Barnevelders? I have read on a website/blog that a Splash rooster over a Double laced hen worked well. I have also read that because the blue colour is a dilution then a blue over blue won't always breed true and getting good lacing in blues is very hard to get. Someone shared with me a colour chart of the results of the two crosses but I was wondering if the rooster or hen passes on more of the character traits I'm looking for.
Ideally I'd like to breed a line of blue hens with a black head and nice lacing. Not interested in showing birds just want a nice flock of layers and sell any excess.
