Yep. I woke up this morning thinking on the JG/CX cross. No idea what it would look like (white?), but I think it may have possibilities.

Also working punnett squares on a JG/BR cross, looks like by the F3 generation I would have homozygous barred males and females. If I can transfer the JG frame and size (or even improve on it?), could be a good table bird. Food for thought.

I've tried using the punnet square. It's beyond me.

I've flirted with the idea of getting some malines

Keep updating this pic. I'm interested to see how this one feathers out.

I just made an interesting observation.One of the tractor supply Cx has two barred feathers. Has anyone else ever seen this?? One feather on each wing looks like a regular barred rock!!
