So, would one just cross a straightbred Red coloured bird with a Barred bird?

The extended black of most barred breeds is dominant, so it wouldn't be till you start hatching second generation that you start to get the barring on different patterns/colors.So, would one just cross a straightbred Red coloured bird with a Barred bird?
Yes there are some red barred birds. Rhode bars are a good example.Does Red Barring exist? If it doesn't, how would one create a Red barred bird?
She appears to carry one blue allele- I agree she is blue. She can not be a sex-linked chocolate carrier because only males can carry sex-linked chocolate. This eliminates sex-linked chocolate. Her color is not correct for dun either or chocolate due to dun and modifiers. To get a chocolate bird with the dun allele- the bird has to have modifiers that produce some red pigments.Hello! I am working on my lavender Orpington flock and bought some black Orpingtons for genetic diversity, when I went to pick them up I fell for the chicken below and bought her. She could have black, blue or chocolate (unknown if dun) parents. She looks too light to be true blue to me. And up close seems to have lacing colored brown. What is she? And how can I test in breeding with a lavender rooster?
Hinnies and mules are sterile, and the results of different species crossbreeding. Chickens are still chickens, regardless of breed. The roost is silver base color, carrying a gene for red. I'm assuming he inherited a barring gene. The mother is likely silver base color, no genes for red. I'm assuming she also inherited the barring gene. This means that any chick that hatches golden will be female. Also, any chick that does not develop barring is female. The rest of the chicks will be both silver and barred. Doesn't mean they are certainly males though, since the rooster has a copy of both those genes as well. The reason you get some sexlinking, is because he only has a single copy of each.
