Double barring vs barring

[The Moonshiner]

A SF barred male can come from a non barred rooster over a barred hen. Or a SF or DF barred rooster over a non barred hen. Or a SF barred rooster over a barred hen.
A SF rooster over a barred hen will produce SF and DF males and barred and non barred females.

Thanks, I always thought double barring was beautiful! I just didn’t understand the genetics. I think I’ve about got down the barring genetics so I was just curious about the double barring.

It is! Females can sometimes almost look double barred. Take my Dominique pullet for example.

Cuckoo is the same gene and works the same way.
Its called barred on slow feathering birds and cuckoo on fast feathering birds.

And yes, she’s a she.
Here she is, and here’s her egg.

Okay that’s cool, thanks for all the help!

Oh wow she’s pretty!! My barred rock has the prettiest barring I’ve seen in a barred rock but is 4 months and still barely has a tail.

Black rooster over barred hen results in all the cockerels being single factored barred and all pullets black.

Thank you for correction.

Still shaking my head!

Cuckoo is the same gene and works the same way.
Its called barred on slow feathering birds and cuckoo on fast feathering birds.

Seen how there are Multiple allelic mutations found on the sex linked barring allele(at least 3 documented but could be many more) and the fact that slow feathering is also found on Cuckoo Marans and it does not affect the way the adult birds look, this means that Cuckoo Marans might actually carry an allelic mutation as well(Marans have not been genetically sequenced yet to clarify)

She only has one barred gene, all barred pullet/hens have one only.

If covered by a black cock then offspring would result in half the cockerels being barred and carrying only one barring gene. All other offspring would be black.
