So, ignoring the gold part at the moment:
If you bred a silver laced parent with a non-laced silver parent, would the offspring be silver laced?

When breeding a silver laced parent with a non-laced silver parent, the offspring would likely not exhibit the silver lacing pattern. In this scenario, the offspring would inherit one lacing gene from the silver laced parent and one non-lacing gene from the non-laced silver parent.

Since the lacing gene is generally considered dominant, the presence of at least one lacing gene is needed to express the lacing pattern in the offspring. If the offspring receives one lacing gene and one non-lacing gene, the dominant lacing gene may not fully express itself in the presence of the non-lacing gene, resulting in a diluted or incomplete lacing pattern.

Therefore, in this specific breeding scenario, the offspring may not display a consistent silver lacing pattern as seen in the silver laced parent. The lacing expression in the offspring would depend on the specific genetic interactions and variations within the lacing genes inherited from the parents.

If you have any more questions or need further clarification on breeding outcomes in poultry genetics, feel free to ask!

Are you talking about single lacing tudy?

Yeah lol cause GLOs are single laced

@OrpingtonManiac do you know about the chicken calculator?

Okay…
So how is lacing dominant if it will never fully express unless there are two lacing? Or do some not have the non-laced gene?

In the genetics of lacing in chickens, the term "dominant" refers to the fact that the lacing gene has the ability to determine the lacing pattern when present. A single copy of the lacing gene is sufficient to express the lacing pattern in the bird's plumage. However, the intensity or completeness of the lacing pattern can vary based on the presence of additional lacing genes or genetic interactions.

When a chicken inherits one lacing gene from a parent (thus being heterozygous for the lacing gene), the lacing pattern will be visible in the feathering. The lacing gene is considered dominant in the sense that it will show the laced pattern in the presence of at least one copy, even if the lacing is not as prominent as it would be with two copies (homozygous).

In the case of Gold-Laced Orpingtons, where a consistent and well-defined lacing pattern is desired, breeders aim to select individuals with two copies of the lacing gene (homozygous for lacing) to ensure a strong and distinct lacing pattern in the offspring. Breeding two laced birds together increases the likelihood of producing offspring with two lacing genes, resulting in a more pronounced lacing pattern.

While a single lacing gene can express the lacing pattern, having two lacing genes can enhance and intensify the lacing effect, leading to a more classic and defined laced appearance. The concept of dominance in genetics indicates that one copy of the lacing gene is sufficient to display the lacing pattern, with additional copies potentially influencing the degree of lacing expression.

I wouldn't trust her answers.
I've bred Double laced to non laced and the results are incomplete laced, which doesn't even always show.

Heard of it

Is double laced homozygous laced or a completely diff gene?

That I don't know I only know basic genetics for the birds I keep...

Ok i get it
So if you breed a silver laced orpington with a gold-laced orpington, you would get good lacing? And what would the color be?
