Yeah, he is Bb, but has the slow feathering gene. We hatched out 400 chicks last year, and he was the only one we got like this. I will hatch some chicks out of him to an Ameraucana hen this year, and breed his daughters back to him.
ETA: He should be double-barred like his father - here:
I don't think his barring will clean up. He may carry the Slow Feathering gene (K^s) but he doesn't show it. If he was Slow Feathering his barring would be cleaner and more like his fathers.
His father is nice but his son [the EE] show typical Cuckoo barring.
Question -
What do you mean by, "double-barred"?

Here is a litte Barred EE chick ( I think), that I hatched from a friend's flock.
That was a baby picture of her, but now that she is about 3-4 wks old her feathers are all barred! Can't wait to see what color of egg she'll lay!

We hatched 20+ Splash Ameraucana Roo X Barred Rock Hen eggs in beginning of May 2011, I found a pic of dipsy's cuckoo girls and got excited...put the splash and the barred in the hilton earlier this spring.
We kept ~12 that a friend has and have ~18 more in the incubator now. I think they are very pretty birds, I like the blue-barring- albeit F1 barred are gonna be males?, like the beards and the pea combs and hope to have some adults next year.
The Barred Rock hens are very productive and hope they pass that on to their F1, blue? pullet offspring.
will get some pics this weekend.
