I spoke to Tom Kernan at the Crossroads Show here in Indy. Tom has some of the nicest laced Blue Sumatras. And how he made his Blues is the same way I want to build a nice laced Blue. Breed your 2 Blues to each other. Goal is to get a Black male from that breeding. Then the next year you take your Black male from the Blue to Blue breeding to your Blue hen. This will after 2 generations of using that Black male back to your best Blue pullets/hens will give you the lacing you want. This is a 5 generation plan. Again to repeat first generation Blue to Blue to get a great Black male then use that male 2 seasons in a row selecting for the best type Blues then you should have the lacing for Blue to Blue breeding for the final 3 generations. Hope this makes sense.

Amazing! Ty for this trade secret!

Most black from blues carry the silver gene which is preferred in blue breeding whereas pure Blacks carry the Gold gene to enhance the beetle green sheen.
