Ghost barring project

[Chickpalooza]

I am starting up a new project based off of a chick I hatched this spring named noodles. This thread will serve as a log and as feedback as to an interesting trait that will make it into the final chicken. For now I will focus on the feather pattern and on year 2 of the project the special trait that is most popular in years time. This is my first major project and all chickens I produce that do not meet the SOP for my goal will be available for sale at some point, same goes for excess cockerels.

I picked Crest, extra long tail, & Speckled Eggs.

This is how my chick is looking so far, but still no visible Barring.

Very pink skin.

I decided multiple choice would work better since some people might be conflicted on which they like the best. Btw I do intend on it being a dual purpose breed(unless of course bantam size wins)

I want silkie feet (feathered and 5 toes) and I want a beautiful egg colour.
Good luck with the project!

Keep in mind that at the beginning the Barring was faint and got darker over time
