Blue laced red Wyandotte

[Kidchaser5]

When you go to a hatchery website looking for blue laced red Wyandottes, the picture you usually see is the blue phase. If we know that the blue phase is achieved 100% of the time by crossing black to splash then why don’t hatcheries offer this phase on its own? This seems to be the most popular visual phase or color.

I'm sorry, you're asking to why when you look up blue laced red, why you get blue laced red as the result?
Cackle hatchery has all three phases , they sort them by chick down color.

Yes, odds are much better getting those chicks from Cackle.

Mount Healthy offers each color separately as well, along with black laced red & black laced gold.

One of my 2023 BLRWs from Cackle is a cockerel, and maybe splash, or at least very light blue laced. This is not a complaint!
One year I ordered this color from MMcM, where the colors aren't separated, and all were splash, not one blue. Again, not totally unexpected, and all were beautiful anyway.

I got a blue and a splash laced wyandotte from Mt. Healthy this year and they are G O R G E O U S. Cannot recommend highly enough.
