55 flowery hen 'recipe'?

[nicalandia]

Would you link any articles/websites or books that talk about B^Esd/BO barring?
I found something that mentions it as "BO".

There are a few links with research done on Sexlink Extreme Dilution B^Sed

Based on this I think B^sd or (B^Esd, i.e. OB), are both possible barring types the 55 Flowery has, but, OB seems more likely. I think it would be cool to make some 55 Flowery mixes, if the backcross(F1B) males turn out white(like a 55 flowery) than OB barring is the more likely type of barring, if the F1B males are far less white than a 55 flowery rooster than they are possibly the B^sd and some unknown component has been removed/lost through the cross breeding.

(The 55 Flowery roo has a smidge of red flecks, but they are practically white, with age roosters become more white after each molt, hens do as well).

I want to know why the chicks aren't consistent down colors. Just different breeding lines maybe?
Examples, pictures from websites selling 55 Flowery chicks:

Also why do you think the females have muted colors, why don't they look more like the light brown(e+) leghorn chicks?

Correct.

This looks really cool. What breeds have this? I’ve not heard of this either.

Edit: I saw you said white Leghorns but then we’re getting into dominant white, right?

Taken out of the Internet.

What does this do/look like? Never came across this with my Barring research.

White leghorns are known to carry OB barring. However you wouldn't be able SEE if specific white leghorn has OB barring because they are Dominant White. It's not common. To see the OB trait you would need to do knowledgeable breeding, it could be extensive and take many years. The 55 Flowery Hen MIGHT have OB barring. Homozygous OB barring causes white OR mostly white males, females would still have color as they can only be hemizygous. Because the barring allele is carried on the Z sex chromosome. I.e. (Z/Z), (OB/OB)< male), (Z/W), (OB/-)< female).

I was already given my answer, but thanks.

This is a petty nice article.

Me years in the future. I still haven't determined if 55 flowery is OB or Bsd, but I will know in a few more months. And I think the barring makes females chick down very in color. I now have some 55 flowery and am making mixes with; 55 flowery rooster over; cream legbar, welsummer, welbar, Bielefelder, crele penedesenca. My goal being to make a autosexing chicken with a similar appearance to the 55 flowery and lay every color of egg. I'm also going to breed in some FBCM, and I know they ER(birchen) and not e+(wild type) and I know how to breed for that, so it's not a problem, just want to darken the eggs.

55 flowery Roo X crested cream legbar hen, the five on the left are females and the four on the right are males. My 55 flowery rooster is heterozygous silver, i.e. S/s+. Two of the female chicks are silver. As for the males it's hard to tell if they are S/s+(het silver) or s+/s+(gold), but those are their only options. Their CCL moms are s+/-(gold).

55 flowery Roo X welbar hen. He is about five months old.

Welbar mom; (e+/e+, Mh/Mh, B/-).
55 flowery dad; (e+/e+, mo/mo, Bsd/Bsd or BO/BO).
Him;(e+/e+, Mh/mh, Mo/mo, Bsd or BO/B).
