Can I tell if this barred rock is a heritage or production bird?

She comes from a local breeder who raises lots of different breeds. I don’t think she’s necessarily a chicken genetics enthusiast, so I’m not really sure where her parent stock is from. I don’t really know anything about SOP, etc. so I was wondering if you experts could tell me anything about my Pepper!

Heritage/exobition type will have thin, clean barring.
But the lack of this doesn't necessarily mean that it's a production bird but that the breeder didn't focus on plumage.
But no, yours looks to be a hatchery stock bird, which is fine.
Unless the breeder had delegated pens for breeds and culls for quality, she just be breeding for the heck of it.
