They don't make any breeds, other than mutts. All offspring will be single barred with yellow skin and single combs

Trying to figure out what single and double barred means..

Double barred basically means they will have larger white stripes and is only possible in males, while single barred has smaller white bars and is possible in both genders.

To keep it simple, it basically come down to the number of barring genes a bird carries

He is double barred. The male barred varieties of purebreds will generally be double barred
