I didn’t mean that it was only found in buff crosses, just that it seems a gene responsible for some of the makeup of self buff is what’s causing that pattern. A gene (or combination of genes) which could be in many other color varieties.

That’s female patterning? I was pretty sure it’s related to buff. I’ve seen a lot of mixed roosters with self buff in their background with that same patterning.

Both the mother and father are heterozygous dominant white (aka paint), meaning they can have white, paint, or black offspring. It’s odd that the offspring ended up appearing sex-linked, though.

(Oops about the pronoun switch) If the orp is recessive white, he could potentially be hiding barring, though that seems a bit unlikely unless the hatchery also carries cuckoo orps. The only other explanation I can think of is that a barred rooster somehow had access to the mother at some point...

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

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.
