Barred and mottled

[Del Boy]

Has anyone got pictures or information on poultry that are both barred and mottled.
Thanks

No photos. I tried that and did not like it. I really could not tell which were barred and which were both barred and mottled. It's possible with some mixes a close examination of the individual feather will let you determine if both are present, but I decided I would go with one and not both. I selected mottled.

a barred and mottled birds would look like this, females would look like a mix of mottled and barred, BUT the males would look almost white

ONLY double Barred(two copies of the sex linked barring gene) Mottled males are white, a single barred males will be darker

the male chicks would look nearly white, the females would look black with a headspot, they are autosexing
