blue laced

(1/3) > >>

Stan Alder:
I really want to start a blue silver project, and I would appreciate any help. Does anyone have blue hatching eggs or chicks from a laced project, blue or silver, but I want true lacing....thanks for any assistance...

Mindy and Tom Best:
Stan, I don't think I have what you are looking for, but I have a pen with a  nice splash cockrel and two blue pullets that are laced nicely in my opinion and are laying. I am very interested in learning what you are looking for if you want to share more detail?

Don:
Stan, there are many threads on the forum discussing silvers and blue silvers.  You can search and read many others starts of diluting the silver genes.  The silver color is still unstable in my mind and needs quite a bit of work by itself.  The color standard has both blue silver and silver blue, they are different colors.

Regarding Blues with lacing, I think most agree that the blues we currently have in Ameraucanas is edging and not lacing.  Several members were working to add lacing to the blue.  Some by crossing Andalusian and I think Jean was using another cross.  You might check out the thread at the top of the breeding category for some of this discussion.  I hope this helps.

Give us more detail in what you have and are trying to do, or If you can't find what you are looking for. 

Clif Redden:
Stan, I have a few 1/2 Ameraucana  and 1/2 Andalusian they have very nice lacing. I would sale a cockerel, contact me if you're interested.

Stan Alder:
Thanks for the replies Mindy  and Don....The project that I envision is a combined flock of Silver and blue silver, much like a BBS flock...I'm very genetically challenged, but I believe that the correct term is blue silver......the current standard for silver but with the cocks being  blue laced where the current silver is  black, and the hens being blue with salmon breast...I hope that is clearer??? I am just in the process of acquiring birds and would prefer to start with silver birds and introduce the blue. I would prefer to introduce a blue with true Andalusian lacing rather than the edging that we currently call lacing....The silvers are a little difficult to find, but I do have 5 or 6 sources. The blue laced is proving impossible, but I know from this forum and others that some people are working on that... hope that explains a little better where I want to go, and what I am looking for...
