I do not use cinnamon-carrying birds and, where possible, use only outcrosses that do not in any way have a risk of carrying cinnamon. Hence normal hens as opposed normal looking cocks. I have found by selective breeding, sometimes ruthlessly getting rid of a family, I have created to non-cinnamon lacewings that have darker markings and richer body colours, a much more impressive bird altogether. Maintaining colour contrast is all important in my opinion. For choice with the green series Lacewing I would be looking for a good example of dark or olive green which would put colour into the body.
Light green can lighten the body colour too much and can, importantly, increase suffusion.
Suffusion in the blue series can be very pronounced, so to allay this scourge I have found the use of grey has a positive effect in reducing suffusion. Use for one or two seasons only as otherwise, as with cinnamon, all the stud will carry grey. I strongly discourage the use of Inos with Lacewings - the combination is not useful to either and confusion can creep in. I am often asked by interested fanciers how one could start with Lacewings. Firstly, stock is not plentiful so getting birds is a challenge in itself.
