Awesome! I only ask because I have a trio of chicks out of a Hamburg roo and a black silkie, and they're showing some white on the feathers coming in on their wings. That and a few of my barnyard EE mixes have a white spot, but there was no barred Plymouth in their gene pool, just spangled and penciled roos.
Thank you so much for your tidbit of advice, that's an all important piece of information should I ever go the way of barred again. This boy, regardless of not being a pullet in the end, didn't deserve to be eaten by his flock mates. On a happy note, I did discover my lot is zoned agri/res! So all I have to do is convince the man of the house!
Here's some more pics of the roo just in case anyone was curious. He's not very easy to photograph when the evening scratch is put out, so these are the best I can do! I just noticed some beautiful iridescent green coming in on his wings, he's going to be a gorgeous boy when he's all feathered in and grown... he's already so big! I'd give him 5lbs already at a low estimate
