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...
