Any ideas what this might go back to?


Most likely Silver Ameraucana, but the melanizers would have been from the black.

Is anyone actually working on Silver Laced? What would you cross to?

 Nobody I know of.   The obvious first cross would be to a nicely colored Silver Laced Wyandotte.   You would not need many chicks the first year, but the second year you would need to raise a ton of them, then breed the second generation back to their parents from the first outcross.   Not worth it in my estimation.   Life is too short.
