These are pics I found on the internet. The dark one is a girl. The light one is a boy. You can clearly see the difference in the barring. Dark color means there is only one barring gene.





In chicks, double barred (always male), are much lighter in color with a much bigger head spot. They are gray with a large yellow head blotch.

Single barred chicks are black with a small white head spot.

so is he single or double barred? Also is frizzle recessive?

 

[Austinspoultry]

Double right? If I put him over solid females what would the outcome be?

Frizzle is not recessive, if they have one copy they will be frizzled. And one copy is all you want them to have - two copies and they are called frazzles, and they have a lot of problems, especially with their feathers. Always put a smooth rooster over frizzled hens or a frizzled rooster over smooth hens, do not breed two frizzles together.

Ok thanks! Yes we have one super frizzle or frazzle there horrifying
