Barring can have a Fading effect on pheomelanin.... BUT since Black Breasted Red are just wildtype Gold duckwing with red enhancers that cancels the barring fading effect...
Thanks for the input nica.

Hummm....
Yes?
I was just thinking of how I would like to get some crele but have been told it is hard to maintain their color--and I have bbreds. Just something for future reference. Right now I would like to figure out what I have with my bbreds and where I need to go with them...

There isnt any reason they cant, many ppl cross bb with crele to improve type and feather width. Running a crele cock over BB hens gives you pure crele pullets and an intermediate cockerels, which are real.dark, but good.for.breeding and keeping the dark and.rich pattern.
Hummm....

I am so happy there are still some OEGB people out there!! Thank you for looking and yes, just in the last two days my little chick has gotten even more cockerel looking. I am thinking he is a Wheaten. He is developing the black feathers on his chest now and the wheaten neck...

Maybe everyone is busy getting ready for winter. I think you're right that your OEGB chick in the bottom picture is a cockerel. The cockerel in my duo of Quail OEGBs made himself known very early; his comb was bigger than the pullet's, but his color helped, too, as he started...
Alright, I have pictures to share! I had 2 more eggs from my BBRed hen hatch and I want to see what people think--do they look more like BBRed's should? I think they do.... They are shy.
This is a picture of my first chick with his cochin and silkie siblings. I think it is going to be a...
Boy, no body has been on here--hope everyone is having a good weekend! Want to post my little chicks progress!
Any ideas so far? I love that the little tail is already sticking up! My black bantams from my mom's bird did not have tails that "flipped up" this well at this point.
I am having...

Is this a rooster from such a cross?
No.. that's a pullet
Ok, sorry about that but the feathers around the tail looked different, plus the neck feathers looked different--which is what I guess you were talking about. My chick seems to be developing the wheaton feathers with a blue...

Correct, they usualy look Wildtype but with clean neck..

This morning the wing feathers are developing a little more and they look blue--would that be an indication of a blue wheaten?
They could be virually anything but wheaton x BB red will result in males that are very hard to to tell apart from either parent variety, the Females will...

That is what I am thinking(and hoping)--that the hen that laid the egg had been with another rooster before I got her. This egg was laid the evening I brought the birds home. I have 2 more eggs in the incubator that were just laid this past week from her( at least the same hen has...
