Isn't he? I just love watching his feather shine and change color when the light hits him just so.

I’m really new to chickens but I don’t think I’ve seen any that have that have red barring on a cream background. At least that’s what it looks like. He’s pretty enough that I‘d consider getting one like him if it was allowed lol

That looks like red Crele to me, no clue on breed and I’m no expert on chook colours so that’s just my uneducated guess! Haha. He’s gorgeous though!

Genetically, it's white barring on a red background. (The typical barred breeds have the same white barring, but on a black background.)

If you're looking for one like him: Bielefelder looks similar but more pale. Crossing a Bielefelder with a New Hampshire or a Rhode Island Red could give one like this. You could also get one by crossing a New Hampshire or Rhode Island Red hen with a Black Sexlink rooster (with Black Sexlinks, the males have barring but the females do not--that's why you'd have to use the rooster of that type.)

Thats so cool! I love genetics but I’m still learning chicken genetics and trying to develop an eye for various breeds and patterns.

Sadly I’m not allowed to have roosters where I live, but I’ll keep that advice in mind for the future!

Have you found the chicken genetics calculator yet? It's great fun to play with!

(Same basic calculator, but the second version has even more options.)
