More Wyandotte Genetics

I have a buff laced Wyandotte rooster, I have heard some people talk about how that isn’t a true colour. People have said that he is a Blue Laced Red, he looks more like a BLR, he’s dark in colour. Okay, okay… enough rambling about my rooster. His hens are silver laced (both black and blue), Splash laced red, “buff” laced, and a BLR hen. As well as some light Sussex. What mixes of colours and lacing could I get from these parents. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks so much for your time.

The Wyandottes all look splash laced red, a true breeding color.
"Buff laced" is typically white laced gold or splash laced gold.
Silver laced hens with Splash Laced Red gives sexlinks:
Blue laced red silver roosters, and blue laced red hens. With the blue silver laced hens you will also get some splash.
Light Sussex with Splash Laced Red gives sexlinks:

Blue incompletely laced red silver roosters, and blue incompletely laced red hens.

I have decided too keep two roosters. The “Buff” Laced, and a splash laced red. The buff is related too two of the hens and the splash is related too one hen. Is this a problem for future breeding? So the roosters are related to 3/10 hens. And what could I get if I put a splash rooster over silver laced hens, or buff hens? Sorry for making this confusing, I just want the breeding too be perfect. Is it better for the flock if I keep an unrelated Gold Laced Black rooster, or the somewhat related splash laced red rooster.

These are the hens with the “buff” rooster, I can try and get some pics of the splash roo, but he looks identical to the splash hen, but with orange saddle and neck feathers, he is beautiful, and has perfect laces.

It is okay to breed related birds together.
The hen does look rather like gold laced with dominant white. Are you from the UK by any chance?

I am aware of that color being there but not here in the US.

 

[HamsHen50]

I’m in Australia. I would say our chickens would be the the same as the UKs

Here “splash laced red” wyandottes look just like that hen, and it’s very rare to see a gold laced that isn’t gold laced black or blue. I have added a pic of my Gold Laced Black roo, in the pic is also a Barnevelder and a Silver laced black.
