@RoostersAreAwesome, have any funky/odd birds to share?

Then there is this girl. Still not certain where this barring came from, just that it wasn't from Mama

What are the only Barred birds you have? Looks like a Legbar mix.

Cochin pair that was never with this flock. Mama was a spitzhauben

Weird. Unless a Spitzhauben is hiding barring.

I've had about 20 chicks from them by now and this was the only one that ever had barring. The others were just Blacks and blues (from dad) with white leakage.

That is odd.

Rooster who almost looks fawn silver duckwing. His parents were both from tractor supply and appeared to be white and red pyle. My current theory is the red pyle hen was actually khaki gold duckwing, though it’s surprising that I got that color from tsc.

Do you have any white or mostly white birds that could’ve concealed the barring? I’m assuming his father is clearly unbarred?
